Dear Readers,
Building a strong foundation of reading for your child is the key to developing a good reader. After you have taught all of the letters and the sounds that each letter makes. It is now time to teach your child the vowels (a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y).
Purchase a set of wooden or plastic letters. Paint all the vowels one color. (Red or another favorite color) Paint the remaining letters another color (blue). After the paint dries, have your child close his eyes and feel the different shapes of the letters. Play a game to see how many letters he can get correct by feeling them. Test his/her memory to see if he/she know the sounds of each.
