Z knows all the basic 42 sounds, and we have a song to go with it. Thanks to Jolly Phonics am able to do various exercises with her at home. I'm also planning to enroll her in my MLCB phonics from April onwards. We as parents might be struggling to take out time for Z, but there are things she should be happy about.
I bought a sound box for my class and Fizz being Fizz brought one for Z as well. Z loves making words and showing how well she knows her sounds. She can sit with her sound box for an hour at a stretch and I make sure we do a round of sound games every day.
Well Phonics are very interesting if done rightly.... so here is a story of "ch" letter c is clever cat, whenever clever cat see Harry Hat Man i.e letter H she sneezes. why? because Harry hat man wears a Hat that has lot of hair. his hair tickles in clever cat's nose and she sneezes and she sneeze with a sound "ch"

DeleteWhat is a Sound Box? Where is it available? Please enlighten :-) And when should one start teaching sounds to kids, what age? I also want to ask, are you teaching Hindi Alphabets too? I want to start teaching my son Hindi Alphabets now since he is well-versed with English - upper and lower cases. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHey Reema,,, I got it from a local toy shop in Blr, the online ones are expensive. We do have Upper Case, Lower Case in English and Hindi sounds too. I started at 2.5.
DeleteYou can use the Hindi blocks for him.
