[quote=Anonymous]Another teacher, and reading tutor. How old is your child? You can teach the blending skill without using written letters. Just give three sounds (or two) separated by a second's pause, and have your child guess what word you are saying. You can give some context cues at first to help your child figure it out. I.e. "I'm thinking of an animal. /k/.../a/.../t/.... can you guess what it is? If this little game is frustrating, and your child is younger than 6, I'd recommend waiting a bit and trying again in 3 months. The ability to blend phonemes together is one that develops as a child gets older. Once the child has the ability, this game will be very easy and fun (for a while, anyway.) If the child really doesn't have the ability toi blend phonemes together at age 6 or older, it is time to start looking into remediation and support.... but if younger, I wouldn't worry so much.[/quote]
