Buds....


I had made my own capital letters and small letters flashcard.
Do you tink if i wld stil need to buy e first reading flashcard?

You can hold the thought first if you want, spring..
After i show you how the Letterland presentation/lesson
goes, you can consider again. There's no hard and fast
rule on this.

Heyya spring, i ALWAYS get those temptations... :drool:
Not just for Letterland resources... more for all types of
learning kits & resources reali. In fact today just bought
some more while we brought the girls out to play...

It's a known fetish of mine.

Okie... *rubbing hands together*

Personally i recommend the introducing of the aaays... beeees and the
ceeees (ABCs) first before Phonics. On a school level, we do introduce
beginning letter sounds to the children @ 18mths. However, if you find
that your child is receptive of lessons earlier than that, why not.

For your bb, you can begin by reading aloud to her first. You should also
start a collection of good children's books that she can relate to and will
enjoy reading them over and over again. Exposure to reading will help
develop the interest and provides sound knowledge (auditory) to pick up
language skills even faster.

You may use Starfall.com as your guide on how to pronounce the
sounds.

Basically, just read a lot to your child. Read with expression and your
stories will come alive. Listening to songs will also help. Like when she
is playing, turn on children's music or rhymes for her to listen to... For
parents who find they are not sure if they can tell stories well enough,
bookstores also sell books accompanied with audio CDs.

Hi buds,

you mean now i just teach her the basic ABC?

then see how she progress or 18 mths then slowly teach her the basic ABC phonics?

Thank you
Eileen

Yes, preferably teach/introduce the ABCs

first. So she’ll know letter name before
sounds. After she knows ABCs she can
associate the sounds with the written
letters better.
