My eldest doesn't go by phonics at all(yet taught herself to read, she started with Dr Suess book, Hop on Pop) and my second is similar. My third is phonics crazy though and yes I think knowing the sounds does lead to putting them together to read words for her. As I say whatever works is good :)Lisa Gwinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217510693331174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590150121803751861.post-18997413631499074912012-01-25T11:07:56.345+00:002012-01-25T11:07:56.345+00:00Raggy Rat, it can feel like a battle when they wan...Raggy Rat, it can feel like a battle when they want to know something but get frustrated with themselves. C used to like that with other things. Just because she found that most things just come to her, as soon as something was slightly challenging the tears flowed. ASking her to stop would make it worse and once she'd conquered it she was super happy, as you say, dancing round the room. I think it depends on the childs personality to what they need and mum usually knows whats best xxx<br /><br />Peter and Jane! I grew up with them :) I forgot all about that one. I have on and off thought about it for mine but never bought any. I've never seen the Mary Mary stories! Thanks for pointing them out! :)Lisa Gwinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217510693331174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590150121803751861.post-60570808929802940402012-01-25T07:28:06.624+00:002012-01-25T07:28:06.624+00:00Letterland was good for us, but all the phonics we...Letterland was good for us, but all the phonics we could get were really useful. They knew the letter sounds by the time they were about three: putting them together into words comes naturally afterwards, doesn't it?
