Mahi is a number guy! He could sit on hours and end tiding numbers and adding small numbers! But when it comes to phonics, that's a whole different story! If it's not interactive, then it's a no-no! So I have to come up with new ideas to teach him phonics. Here I'm sharing a few that worked for us if yours is as fussy to learn phonics as mine .
1. Using Lego - Mahi is a big Lego fan so we tried to build words from Lego. I write letters on each side of each Lego and make him build those words! E.g cat - c will already be written on one block, a on another and so forth. Mahi loves building words
2. As Mahi is every creative, we built a theatre and use words as character so If he wants a cat, he will write that on paper and that will be his character.
3. Playing shopkeeper by writing down words and not pictures. A perfect way to combine English and maths.
These 3 seem to work fine for now but obviously would love to hear any suggestions you have as I'm sure he'll be bored very soon!
