Righty. Maybe IABU. I went to dd's parents' meeting at reception where the reading programme, Jolly Phonics and some other one were discussed.
They showed the JP Dvd. on the DVD they said
the letter 't', 'r' 'f' were sounded out as 'teh' 'reh' 'feh'
so fret would be spelt 'feh' 'reh' 'e' 'teh'
It has always annoyed me when I hear children sounding out words as those sounds are 'pure' sounds. they do not have a 'schwa' in them yet even the instructional DVD teaches them that way.
kids still learn to read write and spell I know but it is jolly annoying to listen to them done wrong.
