Genki Phonics : How to Teach Your Child to Read Using Phonics

Posters are @

By using phonics in schools we've seen kids improve their reading age by as much as two years.

As I've had many people, friends and family asking how to teach phonics to their children at home, I made this video where I explain how to do teach your own child to read quickly and easily. It can make a huge difference to your child's reading ability. Personally I'm always amazed by the results!

Here I use my own Phonics Posters from http://www.GenkiPhonics.com but you can of course use any phonics materials you have.

Here's a brief review of the video:

Phonics just means saying the sound of the letter, instead of the "A=ay B=bee C=see" name of the letter.

1. Ask what the pictures are on each page.

2. Ask what they think today's new sound is.

3. When they get it right, show them how to write it by drawing on the big letter whilst making the sound.

4. Take turns writing on the big letter in silly voices!

5. Point to the first letter of the reading word, they say the sound.

6. Point to the next letter of the reading word, they say it.

7. Keep getting faster and faster till they can say the word and get the magic "Aha!" feeling as they know what it says!

8. Practice writing today's letter on the sheet.

9. Review all the sounds at the top of the page. Take it in turns pointing and saying the letters.

In many countries teachers have forgotten how to use these techniques and if you find your child struggling at school I'd really recommend it. If they are doing other methods of reading it won't distract them, it will just improve their reading compared with the other children in class!

I'd love to see more children being able to read and do much better at school.

So please email me if you have any questions!

Be genki,

@ColouRaya For the beginning speaking part the Genki English Download Pack is probably the best. Of if your cousin can already speak English pretty well then all you need at the Genki Phonics posters from the website shown in the video!

inspirational... in a few years time.. I will be on the case with the phonics --- hope your website will still be around. One question, what age should I start with this? my kids are 2.5 and 1.5 years old. They love the abc phonics songs. But as for reading... we live in spain, and are bilingual (mostly spanish) Im from the uk. please let me know what you would suggest .
