Do the preliminary songs, and reading from the FunFamilyPhonics textbooks.
1. Use a dump truck and drive magnetic letters from one side of the room to the other. Have the door ready with the symbols from FFP. ( I have photocopied them all, put magnets on them and put them ready on the door. Have your child match the plastic alphabet letter to the phonetic symbol from FFP.
2, Print out the words for W. and for V. well, sell, etc and vet, bet etc. Have your Rhyming book open to the letter v and w. Have your child put the word onto the correct page, after they read it.
We are trying to get the children to look at the whole word, not just the first letter.
Sometimes it helps to cover up the first and last letter. Say the sound of the clown. then add the last letter.
e.g. " say "e" in the word well Now show "ell" try to get that sound out, then uncover the first letter. well.
Read any book that features the letter "w".
About Me
- Esther'sPhonicsTutoring
- I began my career as an Early Childhood educator later in life, after I had spent many years working as a medical office assistant. After graduating from North Island College, I worked for 8 years at Sunshine Playschool. After that I worked at Humpty Dumpty, Joyland, and Discovery Childcare Centre. While at these daycares and preschools I spent most of my time working with special needs children. It was while I was supporting a child that I stumbled upon Fun Family Phonics. I was immediately interested in a program that could make reading so easy, as well as fun for the children. I had the privilege of staying at the author of the program's house (Muriel Enderby) while I attended training in Whiterock. This great lady is still training teachers at the age of 72. After completing my training I started using this program in daycares and in my home. Last year I had my first 2 students successfully complete the program, and I will be doing tutoring full time in the fall.
