The fact that the children do some writing using phonics every day is important. The following are examples of just a few methods for teaching letter recognition and phonetic sounds. Children draw a scene with any insects or spiders. These pages can be displayed on the bulletin board then saved in the child's journal. Use sounds to spell words .
Students say the sound.
Continue until the word is spelled. Students draw a large ant. With the teacher's guidance students label the three body parts and six legs of the insect. Later, when learning about spiders, draw and label the two body parts and eight legs of the spiders. Write and illustrate a few pages each day to practice phonetic sounds and writing skills.
