My mindee is 4 in January and starts school in Sept13. She knows the first letter of her name and can sound it out (Huh). She can recognise it when we go out. So I thought I would make her a laminated sheet with her name on so that she can use for a dinner mat and look at it regularly.
So Ive got her name in the middle and thought I'd put some pictures on it too so used pictures that begin with the same sound.
Hen, Horse, House, Hedgehog, Heart and Hat :D
I showed her and said...these words also begin with a H.....So far so good....
But then my (just turned) 3yr old mindee sees it and wants to know where hers is. Her name begins with an E but not an 'e' for egg iykwim its an ee sound. (Easy, Eel,)
So now its not so easy :laughing: Any teachers here?
Do I use pictures of Egg, Elephant or is this confusing as its a different sound?
Help, I don't know how they teach it at school and don't want to do something wrong.
