Master the sounds of letters, not just their names, to unlock the joy of reading!
Learning to read is a journey, and this guide emphasizes phonetic sounds over rote memorization. A supportive adult plays a crucial role, modeling pronunciation through gestures and lip movements.
Start with simple letters and common words, focusing solely on the sounds each letter makes, not their names. Initially, practice together, gradually transitioning to independent practice with occasional joint sessions. Use interactive exercises like this:
- Ask the child to pronounce the sounds of the letters in a word like "TREE."
- After practice, ask, "What did you say?"
- Resist the urge to tell them the word.
Repeat this, encouraging faster pronunciation to bridge the gaps between sounds. Eventually, the child will spontaneously identify the word ("I said TREE!"). Celebrate this milestone – they're reading!
As interest grows, introduce more complex letter sounds (like the variations of "C" in "sky" and "house") and the remaining alphabet letters, always respecting the child's pace.
