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..... :?:

Thanks everyone for the reply...


I have started on this book chapter one...
Hopefully i have the patient to complete the whole set... :xedfingers:

It is really not easy to teach children nowadays....

Thanks laughing cats....


I have some questions again....i quite not understand the method even after i read tamarind's blog ...

How many words do i need to teach in a day?
And then i need to add in new words on the 2nd day and so on is it?

wow, your son can complete the set in a year....i wonder how long my daughter need to take to complete it....
