I teach the phonics sounds utilized in the Abeka curriculum through stories about the letters. Some sounds we’ll cover include: st, bl, ar, er, tr, th, sw, sn, scr, squ, ou, ow, etc. We’ll (1) learn these sounds, (2) practice blending these special sounds with vowels, (3) write these combinations, (4) explore new words that use these sounds to enhance vocabulary skills, and (5) use the new words in silly sentences as a mnemonic device for memorization. If you would like to practice at home and reinforce what we study, the Abeka phonics cards are available for purchase, but are not required.
