My son started in reception this month. The school give him books and letters to focus on at home. I try to do it with him. The difficulty is that my son gets irritated when i say the words , sounds and letters he doesn't know. Of course i encourage him to do it by himself but sometimes he doesn't know the letter or sound so we are completely stuck unless i tell him the letter or sound. He then says angrily that he wants to say it, and tells me not to say it.
any ideas on this?, of course when he has learnt all the letters we can break the words down and i work through the letters to get the word.....but for now we are still learning letters and sounds. Is there a way to give a hint for a sound, letter perhaps. He likes to be independent so doesn't appreciate help sometimes.
thanks in advance
