What are the best phonics books or courses when you are teaching phonics for kidsThere are many different phonics
programs in the bookshops and online, so which is the best one for
your kids. You can either use a complete program or a program that will
supplement what your child is learning at There are books and
computer programs available that are a complete course in themselves, but
I like to supplement the main course with Montessori sandpaper
letters. I
make up the words or phonic sounds that the kid is learning in sandpaper
letters then get the child to trace the letters. This helps with writing
as well as implanting the words in the child’s mind. You can use the
sandpaper letters with any learning to read
book or course. Or you can use
the Montessori teaching system by itself to teach phonics to your
kids.
The Montessori system has been around for nearly a hundred years and it is
still popular today. It has survived the changes in education policy from
phonics to whole language and back again and it is still being taught in
Montessori schools around the planet. With this phonics system you
basically have to take control of your kid’s reading education. It is
not something you leave with your kid like some computer-based programs
and your kid learns by himself. But it is a good add-on to computer-based
reading programs as you can make up the words in sandpaper letters and get
your kid away from the computer for a while. The Montessori system is a
hands-on approach that you do with your child. You make up the letters and
your kid traces and says the sounds. For more information about a
Montessori course with a good section on how to make sandpaper letters and
other computer-based courses see our teach reading page.
