Why is Phonics, Spelling, and Word Study Important?
Parents play a large role in helping students learn beginning consonant and vowel sounds. This is why it is so important to start teaching your child phonetic skills at home, such as teaching letter names and the letter sounds as early as age 3 or 4 years old.
Building a strong foundation at home will help your child have a head start when they begin school.
Take a look at this video to see how to teach phonics to your child at home.
