[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. You don't need to teach every letter sound before you start to sound out letters. Drill sounds by having a picture card for each letter. For b, have a picture of a ball and drill "b, ball, /b/" and then have him repeat. Do this with some consonants and some vowels and then start with short CVC words like hat. Write it or use letter tiles or magnets and have him tap out the word by tapping his index finger to his thumb. Model it for him. Say "/m/ /a/ /p/" and then say "map." The vowels "e" and "a" are very close in sound so it will take some time for him to detect the difference. [/quote]
