This short phonics lesson was designed to teach the basic sounds of the English alphabet in a very EASY, and uncomplicated way. It gives the learner the opportunity to respond to a simple request, that teaches JUST THE SOUND. It is one minute long, but can be watched for 10-15 seconds a few times a week, in order for the brain to retain the SOUND that go with the letter. Some online videos and schools teach phonics using FOUR STEPS:  1.) NAME of the letter;           2.) WORD that starts with that letter;   3.) PICTURE of that word;  and 4.) SOUND of the letter. Additional, dancing, music playing and colorful pictures moving about is enjoyable to watch, but WOW, that is a lot of STIMULI for the brain to process. While it may work for many, it is very confusing for others. 
     
WHEN A LEARNER LOOKS AT THE LETTER, FOR EXAMPLE, "A" or "a", THE INSTINCTUAL RESPONSE SHOULD BE THE SOUND ONLY. Please read that last sentence 3 times, because that is the GOAL, to the beginning of reading! I have seen too many children look at a letter and say, THE LETTER'S NAME, THE WORD THAT GOES WITH THE LETTER, or SING ALL 4 PARTS OF THE SONG. They have no idea how to SOUND OUT A WORD, because they do not know which part to say! 

Our FREE interactive phonics lesson, eliminates 3 parts, and only concentrates on the SOUND.  The picture behind the letter is never mentioned. It's intension is to be somewhat of a subliminal message to the brain, a clue for the SOUND. Additional, we put the lowercase letter first, because we read mostly with lowercase letters. As you watch the video, you will see the simplicity to a VERY IMPORTANT journey into reading. It is sung to the tune of the Alphabet Song, BUT only sing the SOUNDS. Learners will learn the NAMES of the letters eventually. But the SOUNDS are taught first, because we mostly read by the letter's SOUNDS. Additional, it has the short vowels sounds in it, the hardest sounds to learn.

This way to learn the letter sounds was designed by a USA teacher, with a background in speech-language pathology, art and music. All of the images are original works of art. This EASY way is kid tested, parent and teacher approved. You will be delighted when your learner looks at a letter and only says it's SOUND! It takes time. Just when you think it is not working, NEVER give up, IT WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN, if practice, practice, practice is done, by watching the video a few times a week, over time, it will happen. You can start at birth! The brain is an amazing thing! If you have a child who is struggling in reading, if you are learning English as a second language (ESL), or if you are an adult who never "got it" in school, these lessons will help.

To assist in learning the alphabet sounds we have stickers, posters, flashcards, t-shirts, hoodies and household item that can be purchased for visual aids. You can see the posters in the background on the video. Please remember to only sing the SOUNDS. We posted them on 3 sites so far. We literally make a few pennies on each item! Our MISSON is to HELP END ILLITERACY. But we made visual aids for you if you would like to use them. Here are the sites:  #phonicsstickersplus.com, you can Google:#phonicsstickers, #phonicsflashcards, #phonicsposters...our method is ALWAYS represented on a black background. Other sites: #Zazzle.com, our store is called: LAUGH_LOVE_LEARN; or on #RedBubble.com, our store is called BEEaREADer7. OR you can Google:  #THERESAGLICKMAN, and that will lead you around to most of the sites. That is why we have that name in the title with a hashtag.

Remember to have fun learning! Singing gives off feel good endorphins. It also helps the brain to remember and retain new information faster. SING OUR PHONICS SONG!

We will be teaching, blends, digraphs, sight words, more about vowels, and all aspects of reading. We will hopefully teach printing too. Then we may go into math tips, tricks, and hacks. ALL EASY WAYS TO LEARN!

We'll end by stating: NURSERY RHYMES are a precursor to speaking and READING. So, sing those songs too.

Thank you for reading to the end! God bless, as Red Skelton would say at the end of every one of his shows. SAY WHAT? Who's Red Skelton? If you want to know,  just ask Google! ENJOY!
