So, AN has really gasped the idea of word blending. As of now, she's only capable of 2 letters. I asked her how to spell words like "on", "of" (and "off"), "at", "an", "it", "in" etc and she does it for me. She's attempting simple 3 letters like "and" because there's only 1 letter "d" more than "an" which she already knows (besides those 3 lettered words that end with "an" and "at"...yes, we are still at these because I had been so preoccupied with the clingy ER who is my koala bear baby and haven't taught her new words)
Phonics is amazing! We used to learn to spell by memorising but with phonics now, as long as you know how that word sounds, you will be able to spell, or at least get the spelling nearly as right. And it doesn't matter if you are only 4 years old (and even younger kids who can already spell because their parents taught them early).
Why didn't we learn phonics in school when we were young???
