Hi everyone. I have a 3 year old (3 years and 2 months) who won't start reception until 2025. The nursery she attends is really pushing phonics. They do it every morning which is of course fine.
The teacher at pick up asked me to practice at home with her as she said she's not sure how much she has grasped.
Tonight I spent an hour with her (in a fun way) trying to teach her the letter 'a' phonetically. I was surprised that she just didn't get it!! I would tell her and then ask her a minute later after we had sung a song about a for ants. And she had forgotten. This went on for 45 mins and I gave up.
I was surprised as she had fantastic language, was an early speaker and is sharp as button! Should I be worried?
