Whats the best way to teach my kid the sounds of the alphabet?

Answer 1

have flash cards so they can see it

make it to a song

make it fun

and do it over and over till the children get it

Answer 2

You can use any materials available.From my experience i used phonics for my son. Any method of phonics will help, but the most important is to ask your kid read the sound of the alphabets everyday without missed. This is the way i have tried to my son. By God willing your kid will remember the sound of the alphabet fluently.

Answer 3

The "Leap Frog" series of DVD's are GREAT for this!  They do catchy little songs that the kids LOVE.  My two year old learned a lot of her sounds with these.  They are reasonably priced too!

Answer 4

Make poems and chants about each sound.  Open Court has fun ones that most schools use.  These chants have gestures and rhyming chants so kids remember them.
