Beginning and EmergingLand of Words
Sounds are becoming words.
Your child is learning to match letters to sounds and blend them into words. Slow and careful is right on track.
You might notice
- Sounds out short words like map
- Mixes up a few letters
- Tires quickly
What helps
- Point under each letter and slide the sounds
- Read books made of sounds they know
- Ten calm minutes a day
Inside your child's brain
The brain is not growing bigger. It is building connections.
Each word your child sounds out makes a sound and letter path a little stronger.
