Hi all KSP,


Is it really a must for a child to attend phonics class? Does it really help them in reading??? :?:

IMO


not a must.

But in our DS case, phonics helped in his reading and spelling. It is definitely a major plus.

Hi,


I am having headache with phonics. I have read through tamarind phonics blog over and over again...but i still don't understand...hahahaha

I know i need to teach my daughter 26 letter sounds. Currently, she is able to memorised half of it and i think she can complete it in another 1 month time.

Therefore, i am studying 2nd step in blending 2 letters sound or 3 letters sound and i'm stuck here. Tamarind says she teaches AT, AN, AP then IT, IN, IP, ID, IB, IM, IS and IX and so on for E, O, U.

I want to ask, are these the only combination for A,E,I,O,U. I only need to teach all the 2 letters available in tamarind's blog is it..

Meaning, there is no need for me to teach AC, AF etc?

I am so confused..... pls help..... :?:

Need some clarification - what does it mean when a phonics teacher say "must know how to blend"?


Meaning able to break the word into phonics parts/sounds? Eg lunch - l-un-ch?
