(this might not be in the right topic...)
I'm trying to help DS (3.6) to learn to read. He loves books, has really good vocabulary & can read all his letters etc.
However, if we're trying to read a word, the usual conversation is:
"Can you read the letters?"
"T A P"
"That's right! Now, can you say them closer together?"
"T A P"
"Excellent! Now, can you tell me what the word is?"
"Train..."
"Ummm, why?"
"Because it starts with T"
How do you go about making the connection between letter sounds, and the corresponding words? I'm not really thinking about phonics at the moment, I think we need to cross the bridge of letters = words first - but how do you do that?
