My son is 2.5 and has started showing a big interest in letters and words and asking me "what's that letter mummy"?
I don't want to push him but as he is showing an interest I was hoping someone could suggest the best way to start teaching him some letters. I was taught to spell and read using phonetics but I am not sure how I was taught to bridge the gap between the letters of the alphabet and their phonetic sound.
I am not trying to open a debate on whether its right or wrong to teach young children to read before school- just looking for a few tips on these early stages that won't cause him confusion later on.
