Phonetics

the new way of teaching thankfuly includes this right from the beginning... back at my time, this was redundant and i first was introduced to this back at home and not in school...

yes Nitin, when i was in school, my mother used to teach me the same...

it is great , it actually helps kids understand the concept very easily , infact in my daughters school they had a whole song about the sound that each alphabet made and she used to sing it all the time ... she is now in class 1 but still some days we go back to the song when she has trouble spelling a particular word...

Phonetics have become a part of the curriculum now. Even though my daughters school still follows the age old method of learning spellings, I find trying to teach her with phonetics makes a lot of difference. It was a proud moment when she started making sounds and putting vowels in spellings on her own with the phonetics method. (Truth is, the older the child grows, the more difficult the words will get... and phonetics will come to use even more then)

bhavna can have the song pls for my 5 yr old
