    Do you teach them the names of the letters at the same time as the sounds. So choose 3 letters and teach both?

    I realized that memorization of words comes much later, when they’re reading fluently and often because we use certain words so often that we subconsciously end up memorizing them and eventually just knowing them and saying them without a second thought, we don’t have to sound out every letter sound. Do you have any videos on kids who are reading already and strengthening their reading comprehension? When I read to my kids I ask them questions about what’s happening in the book as a pre-cursor, but I’d like for them to retain that information more affectively.

  • @susans3411
    @susans3411 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Pro tip: Find these sounds in your environment (grocery store shelves, billboards, restaurant signs, etc.) Any time you can connect the abstract (letter sounds) to concrete things in their world, it lays big foundations for literacy. Teachable moments are everywhere just waiting for fun and meaningful discovery!

  • @susans3411
    @susans3411 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    58:18. When to do this (kids see it as just more school) Tip: bath time is excellent for this. Foam letters that stick to the walls, squirt guns to shoot the sounds. Bath/body paints to write on the walls or the child then splash/scrub off the sounds. Then incorporate bath toys with those first-letter sounds. So fun!! Definitely not school.

  • @susans3411
    @susans3411 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Pro tip: include the vowels up front. Do a vowel with a consonant.

  • @susans3411
    @susans3411 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Pro tip: start with letters that have meaning to your child, like the starting letter to their name, sibings' names m and d for mom and dad, a pet's name, a holiday, etc. The goal is to connect abstract with concrete.

      Yes, I do this with my 2 1/2 year old! She knows about half the alphabet this way (if not more). She loves it and asks for more naturally, I have never sat down and formally taught her- she just soaks it up this way!!!☺It probably helps that we have a very large extended family so plenty of cousins 😂
