每個家長都想自己的小朋友學好英文,孩子在年紀小的時候,如果能好好掌握英文併音的方法,以後對於學習英文會很快上手,之後再也不用擔心小朋友升上小學後應付不了英文功課、默書和測考,甚至無用經常掛心為小朋友找英文補習老師。 我認為要在小朋友二至五歲時教好他們英文併音,最好的老師只有一個,就是媽媽,所以想分享一下我在家中教女兒的經驗,希望大家也可以和我一樣,教好自己小朋友的英文併音之餘還可以享受親子的樂趣!

Happy to hear your good news in using Letterland, my daughter Phoebe have great improvement too!
The teachers in the kindergarten tell me they don't know Phoebe knows how to read-aloud (she can read out words but most of the time she don't know the meaning).
But one day they saw her holding a card and whispering, then one of the teacher walk near her and listen what her's whispering about. They surprise to find that she is holding a card( i don't know what's it) to read.
I think she feels happy that she can read-aloud english that make her with a kind of confidence in learning english and reading english story books too.

Share with you later!

In my opinion, those phonically difficult words are explained in Programme 2 "oo" sound and "ea" sound "e" short sound and "e" long sound, I would have a jump to tell the story about these word in order to explain these words.
In the view of children they won't know which part should be learn first and which parts are in Programme 2, so they are just some funny stories, it won't make any different to them.
BTW, when I taught about [size=medium]"when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking" to my daughter, I use the Between the Lions songs to explain it, and it wonderful, please note the following link:

[size=medium]When Two Vowels Go Walking

When two vowels go walking
The first one does the talking
In "boat" you hear the "o" and not the "a"

In "meat" you hear the "e"
The "a" sits quietly
The second vowel you see but you don't say

But...
Shh!

Just the two of us together
In "train" and "pail" and "rain"
The "a" speaks up; the "i" does not
But...
Shh! Let me explain

When two vowels go walking
The first one does the talking
In "brain" you hear the "a" but not the "i"

In "soap" the "o" is clear
The "a" you never hear
In "say" you say the "a" and not the "y"

But...
Shh! Isn't it neat?
But...
Shh! It can't be beat!
But...
Shh! It's such a dream!

Don't mean to boast
But here's a toast
We're quite a team!

When two vowels go walking
The first one does the talking
I'm sorry, number two, it's such a shame

Although it gives you pain
The rule is very plain
When two vowels walk
The first one says its name!

But...
Shh!

Yes, when two vowels walk
The first one says its name!

Dear Maria,
Nice to see you again. I have printed out your picture code cards you posted here for use. thanks.

I have one question. if our kids is in traditional school their dictation does not follow the level of phonic they have taught. They would have to dictate phonically difficult words like 'foot', 'teach'.

What you suggest if he come across phonically difficult word that he has to dictate? How i can taught him to dictate such words?
