Dr Maria Montessori stated that by the age of 2.5 years, your child’s brain is naturally primed for language, and it is essential to provide the foundation they need.
When teaching phonics, do you ask yourself:
❓How do I actually teach the letter? (I show you in the PDF)
❓How many letters can I teach in one go? (Usually 3, but it can depend on your child)
❓At what age is my child ready to start? (You can from 2.5 years)
❓Should I be teaching letter names or letter sounds? (Sounds first)
❓Do I have to buy an expensive set of materials? (No)
❓What order should I teach in? (I show you in the PDF)
❓How do I know if they have mastered the sound? (I show you in the PDF)
❓How and when do I teach them to start writing letters? (I show you in the PDF)
It’s overwhelming, which is why we leave it to the teachers. But as parents, we are our children’s first teachers, and we must understand how to support their early reading to ensure the whole experience is a success.
In this PDF, I show you how to:
Make your Sandpaper Letter resource
