Phonics

I have been trying to teach phonic sounds to my 3 year old today. She only knows two of the letters and I have been doing it with her for months. I think it is such a hard concept to teach to a young child, when she has no idea what the sounds are for, but I want her to be ahead when she starts school. If anyone has any fun ways to teach them I would love the hear about it.

I noticed today that her drawing has advanced. In addition to the circle with hair, eyes, arms and legs she now add eyeballs and shoes. Still no body though!! She is growing up so fast now she is at nursery. And she is much more confident too. Free nursery is definitely a good idea, it is teaching her a bit about how school works and allowing her the freedom to gain skills and confidence in a non-competitive environment.
