Phonics & Spelling

One of Josh's fav video now is this phonics video called Alphabet Sounds which we found from Youtube. Presented in a song format with a catchy tune, it makes it very easy for him to learn the sound of each letter. He will also use the tune of the song on other words, such as "Daddy, daddy, de de de" or "Mummy, mummy, mm, mm, mm". So this video comes highly recommended as a fun and easy way for kids to learn basic phonics.

He's also learning to spell simple words (thanks to the Wordworld app), such as apple, stop, baby, dog, pig, cat, frog, car. He will spot things around the house and ask me to spell to him, like "how to spell table" or "how to spell spoon" and so on. It's one of the few activities that would make him sit down, hence I really enjoy doing the spelling game with him :)
