Let Your Child Master Preschool Phonics

Master preschool phonics is important to a child as it lays the foundation to reading and writing. Playing phonics games is one method to build phonemic awareness. It gives the child the long-term benefits of being able to communicate effectively.

Here are some phonics games and phonics activities we can make learning phonics easier and fun for preschoolers:

Phonics Song

apple and axe, a a a (say these bits as the sound of the letter)
apple and axe, a a a
apple and axe, a a a
we all know our lettersRepeat the same tune using the following different alphabets:
baby and ball, b b b
cup and cat, c c c
doctor and dog, d d d
elephant and egg, e e e
fish and fan, f f f
girl and goat, g g g
igloo and ice, i i i

You can continue until z. My advice is that sing only one alphabet per time or not more than 3 different alphabets for effective learning.

You will be amaze how kids will remember and enjoy their phonics.

In addition to knowing the sounds, we can play phonics games for letter recognition.

Label Objects

Get some objects around the house and letter symbols matching the first letter of each object. Play the game by saying "I saw something with the sound rrrrr". Let your child put the symbol on the object starting with "r".

Find Your Words

This game will be more suitable for kids who already know the basic and able to recognize letters.

Get a passage from newspaper, magazines or book. Ensure the material is all right to be scribble on.

Give the child some time to go through the passage and highlight all the words you want him to find -sh sounds as in shine, shut, shot. Make it into a competition with timing if you have two or more kids playing this game.
