DID YOU KNOW...
In the early stages, it is essential to focus on the development of the student's phonemic awareness - the ability to hear, identify and arrange phonemes (individual sounds), instead of routine memorization exercises.
PLUS - By training your student to identify individual letter sounds instead of the limited memorization techniques & exercises, you equip them to decode words along with their sounds even if they have not seen the words beforehand.
This method lays the STRONG foundation for learning any language and develops important universal communications skills they will use for a LIFETIME!
