Before they start Reading

Congratulations!
Your child is learning their letter sounds, here is some phonemic awareness to help them out!
 It will be a challenge for them at first to connect sounds together to make a word so practice it.  Take short words and say them outloud one sound at a time and see if they can connect what you are saying.  For instance I say D        O       G  hmmm what word is that D       O       G can you hear what word I am saying.  This is seriously challenging for young readers at first.  It is easier to introduce it this way then right when they are trying to read and sound out words.  For instance you are driving somewhere in the car just make it a game.  Sam can you tell what I am saying D       A      D?   IF they are struggling give them hints at first, like Sam when we cry we are S     A     D, what word is that?  At first you might sound out the word 15 times before they get it, and that is if they can even hear it.  Once they get the hang of this though it will be so much easier for them to read, and you can start this before they even know their letter sounds if you want!  Great game for helping your child to read earlier.   Some kids can hear the sounds after practicing just a little bit, and others take a lot of practice.

Have Fun and Good Luck!
