00:0-1	I grownups . It's Miss Emily from learn and Play
00:02	Montessori school . Today we're discussing how to introduce phonics
00:06	to your Children with some montessori inspiration . Now Maria
00:11	Montessori discussed how Children have absorbent minds and that was
00:15	from birth to age six years old . This meant
00:18	that their minds are like sponges and that they continuously
00:22	soak things in . So at a young age from
00:26	two onwards is a great time to start introducing phonics
00:30	to your Children . Yeah . Now , first and
00:38	foremost when you focus on phonics , you want to
00:41	only focus on the sound and you don't want to
00:44	be focusing on the name of the left . And
00:46	of course the names of the letters are the alphabet
00:49	A . To Z . Mhm . Now another thing
00:58	to bear in mind when you are beginning phonics is
01:01	that you will be starting with the lower case letters
01:04	, not the upper case letters . And this is
01:06	because when your child is reading they will come across
01:09	more lower case letters than uppercase letters . As typically
01:13	uppercase letters will traditionally be used for the start of
01:16	a sentence or the name of a person or a
01:19	place or a historical festival . So it is better
01:23	for your child to start learning lower case letters first
01:27	rather than having to unlearn all of the upper case
01:30	letters they previously learned . When they start breeding after
01:34	your child is comfortable with all of the lower case
01:36	letter sounds , you can then move on to other
01:39	case . Another thing to bear in mind when introducing
01:49	our next to your child is the order in which
01:51	you introduce the letters . Typically your child may already
01:55	know the alphabet song , starting with the order from
01:58	A to B to C to D . All the
02:01	way to said . Now when we are learning how
02:04	to read , it is actually more efficient to learn
02:06	letters according to their use and according to letters that
02:10	can be made into other sounds . So for example
02:14	you may begin with the letters S . A .
02:17	T . M . And these four letters can be
02:20	rearranged to create words . And so your child can
02:24	already start gaining the understanding that these sounds are going
02:28	to eventually be blended together . And of course I'll
02:31	focus on blending will only really occur once the Children
02:35	are very comfortable with the letter sounds . However ,
02:38	when you have learned a set of sounds , three
02:41	, maybe four sounds , you can start to blend
02:44	yourself and show your child how eventually the sounds will
02:48	be put together to create a word . In our
02:51	short chronic videos , you will see that I have
02:53	begun with the sounds S . A . T .
02:57	In our first video , however , there are other
02:59	variations that use other letters and you may pick any
03:03	variety of these and these are easily found on the
03:05	internet . These are letters such as Yeah . Yeah
03:15	. Mm . Yeah . Yeah . Mhm . Now
03:29	a large part of learning phonics through some montessori inspiration
03:33	is combining the use of touch sight and understanding .
03:38	A lot of montessori materials use texture . So you
03:42	may find sandpaper letters which are really excellent when introducing
03:47	the sounds to your Children . However , if you
03:49	don't have any sandpaper letters at home , that is
03:52	no problem . I've also made a short video on
03:54	how you can create your own sugar paper letters just
03:58	such as this , our letter ? S making the
04:02	sound . All I simply did was trace the letter
04:06	s onto a piece of card and then I asked
04:10	my child to trace along the s with some glue
04:16	and to Sprinkle the sugar along it . Now of
04:19	course this is not going to be as sturdy as
04:22	a sandpaper letter . However , if you're looking for
04:25	an easy and quick alternative that you can do at
04:27	home , this is an excellent choice . I also
04:30	personally like involving my child in making their own materials
04:34	, it means a lot more to them and you
04:35	can also feed the information as you are making the
04:38	material . So , for example , as my child
04:41	was sprinkling the sugar , I was using some words
04:45	that started with an s Sprinkle spread and of course
04:51	making the sound stage . And this was before we
04:54	even started looking after sound . This was just while
04:58	we were making the material . Once you have made
05:07	your materials for that particular lesson for the sounds that
05:10	you're going to introduce as you introduce them , you
05:13	can ask your child to use their finger to trace
05:16	the sound . Of course you're going to have to
05:18	show them the correct way first . So we always
05:21	try to verbally describe down up and around . You
05:29	may wish to come up with a rhyme for this
05:30	if you like . Or you may simply repeat the
05:33	procedure down up and around once . Your child has
05:40	done this once or twice . You may then ask
05:42	them to do it independently and make the sound .
05:46	For example uh It is the sound . Uh huh
05:53	. You could try it a couple more times until
05:56	they feel a little bit more confident . And of
05:58	course you will do this with each letter each time
06:03	the letter s stop the top and we're going to
06:07	make the sound . Yeah until we get to the
06:14	bottom , start at the top . Wind your way
06:17	down . Mm . Now the reason that we like
06:23	to use a bit of texture in our materials is
06:25	that it feeds the information through to your child using
06:28	their different senses . And so it makes the experience
06:31	more memorable and more likely for them to remember the
06:34	sound . Mhm . Yeah . Along with using your
06:42	sugar or sandpaper letters , there are alternative ways that
06:45	you can introduce the sounds to your Children . In
06:49	our other video , our first phonics video , I
06:51	introduced the sounds using a short story for each sound
06:56	. So for the sound , I have a short
06:59	story , The tiger . He counted 10 titles in
07:07	a tree . Now this is a really short story
07:09	for your child to remember The tiger counted 10 turtles
07:17	in a tree . And this is just a fun
07:20	short way to introduce the sound . You can ask
07:23	them if they heard a particular sound while reiterating the
07:28	sounds . Tiger . 10 tree turtle . Could they
07:35	hear the sound after you have told them the story
07:42	? You could then try and ask your child to
07:44	retell the story to you . Perhaps they could come
07:48	up with a new story Now of course this helps
07:51	if you have some flash cards , however you could
07:54	just print some images off google all , starting with
07:57	the sound and make up your own story . And
08:01	then of course allow your child to make up a
08:03	story of their own using the sound . If you'd
08:06	like some variation between your sounds and you've used the
08:10	story method quite frequently , you might choose to use
08:13	a mystery bag . Now for this , you may
08:15	just gather a few items that start with your sounds
08:19	that you're going to be focusing on . So for
08:22	example if you are focusing on the sounds ah and
08:27	you might put into your mystery bag a spoon ,
08:33	he suck an apple , an arrow , a train
08:40	and a teddy . Now , as you draw this
08:43	out , you can focus on the sounds and at
08:47	the end of the lesson , once you have focused
08:49	on your three sounds , you can then use this
08:51	mystery bag as a challenge and you can ask your
08:55	child to sort the items onto the correct sound so
08:59	well , so it can be used as an introduction
09:01	to sounds . It can also be used as a
09:03	test to see if they have remembered which items belong
09:07	to which sounds . I hope these tips help you
09:10	introducing some Montessori inspired phonics into your home . Follow
09:14	our phonics videos for some more tips and ideas of
09:17	some games and challenges that you can set your child
09:20	when introducing some new sounds from everyone and learn and
09:23	play Martha . Sorry bye bye .
