Hi, I’m Lisa!

As a Montessori teacher (AMI), I’ve helped 3 and 4 year old children learn letter sounds and phonics using a gentle, child-led approach. Most of those children started reading well before they turned 5 years old!

The secret to guiding your child from pre-reading to early reading is to focus on one concept at a time and go at your child’s own pace.

It really simplifies things when you understand the step-by-step learning sequence. Then you can observe where your child is at in terms of understanding concepts. That way you'll know you're offering the right activities at the right time.

One of the biggest mistakes is doing alphabet activities before your child understands that letters represent speech sounds.

 

When a child struggles to learn letter sounds, phonemic awareness is usually the missing piece.

The beginning sounds activity that you'll learn is a fun phonemic awareness activity. It's just like playing "I SPY" except that you're looking for something that starts with a certain sound.

It's important to do this activity before showing what the speech sounds look like using letter symbols. That way your child will understanding the meaning of letters instead of just memorizing them out of context and in isolation.

Most children who are around 3 years old are developmentally ready to start playing this beginning sounds game!

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!
