I Spy for Phonics | Learning To Read | NPT3

Season 2021 Episode 34

Children better absorb information when we use a multi-sensory approach, like when we combine sight and sound. The first step toward learning to read is teaching children what sounds letters make. A fun way to engage your child is a with a game of I Spy. Try having your child spy objects that start with a letter or letter sound.
