[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teaching your kids the sounds letters make as you expose them to letters and written words should be the norm.  Some people only teach their kids the names of the letters without also teaching the sounds they make in words.  Kids should have letters to play with and someone should be identifying the sounds for them.

From there it's logical to explain how putting letters together to make a word like CAT works.  Once you have given the child these tools to learn how to read you don't really have to do more unless you want to.  Many children can take it from there.[/quote]

While I don't disagree, I think this would be a good way to teach an easier language like Spanish. Spanish has lovely rules. English is a hot mess with irregular pronunciations. Take "was" and "has"- they don't rhyme. Or "Said". Teach your child to read in 100 lessons does wonderful phonics work, but also reading comprehension, guessing, memorization and looking at the picture to get the word right. [/quote]
