Reading three letter words!

Bismillah ,

MashAllah , subhana has learnt the sounds of alphabets. Because of that , she has also learnt how to read three letter words. For sounds , we used Jolly phonics video on YouTube. For Jolly Phonics Handbook which is unbelievably online for free download . And for jolly phonics workbooks can be found here.



Well , those were the details for learning sounds through actions. But just to check subhana that ow she blends the sounds , I am using progressive phonics. AlhamdulAllah she is really doing well. She can reads words along with pronounciation of sounds like c-a-t implies to cat. Bat , rat , sat , pat , mat , pan , ran , can , fan etc. You can downlaod free resources from here .



Moreover , we borrowed a book from a library and it's " I can spell " book with a beautiful catchy cover for kids. This book is really helping us a lot in improving our reading of three letter words.





I also bought a book of phonics which has an interesting aspect of revolving the circular round shaped cards words corresponding to the correct picture. When you will see the close up of the picrue , you will get an idea inshAllah.



Well that's the update on literacy for now!

  3. Actually I am still contemplating on this issue sis. I do not want to complicate it. As for Maimoonah she does know all the sounds and when she attempts writing she uses the phonics. But when she reads its the Glenn Doman's method that she uses. So for the moment I thought I will just let the phonics wait and will start when she is 4 years or more next year Insha Allaah!

    I think its upto each child and we got to go along with that Insha Allaah!

    What do you think?
