[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assume the child needs to know their letters first? Or do any of these at-home lessons incorporate learning letters?[/quote] Jolly Phonics, used in our Annapolis area private, starts with the letter symbols and the sounds each letter makes. That is step 1. That curriculum, by the way, is available online at least from homeschool supply places. It teaches single letter Phonics then two-letter combinations and then three-letter combinations. It then goes to a set of Phonetic readers - which also will add common sight words incrementally. When teaching letters, do not teach their official names at first. Instead, teach them that "D" is "duh", so they learn the phonetic sound. Initially, both C and K should be taught as "kuh". The sss sound of C comes later on. For vowels, initially teach the short vowel sound. The long vowel sounds come later. [/quote]
