Children at Dcs school are split into different groups for phonics.

Parents are sometimes invited to watch lessons. I observed a lesson by a teacher using glottal stops I.e Let'er instead of letter.

Would IBU to mention this?

It’s a regional dialect. Would you also complain about short vowel sounds for Northerners?

Do people really care about this stuff? It's all down to regional accents, isn't it? I wouldn't even be bothered, to be honest. It's fine.

Only if “letter” was one of the words they were learning to decode.
