"Why Sounds?"

If your child is already in school, may it be play school or pre-kindergarten, you may have noticed that they are teaching sounds of objects...

Mind you, they don't teach the animal sounds or sounds of objects because they are cute. What teachers sometimes fail to connect is that like animals, letter have sounds, too.

A horse's sound is "Neigh!" A cow says "Mooo!"

This letter is [C]. Its name is C. Its hard /c/ sound is /k/ like in cat.

Although, more often than not, children are taught the name, this can be harder when they are being taught to combine sounds in reading.

For example the word: ART.

If we base on the name, individually, they can be this way:

a /ey/ + r /ar/ + t (ti) = they can be mistakenly combined as eyarti.

But if sounds:

a /short a: æ/ + r /r/ + t /t/ = the can be combined as ART.

Just something to think about...
