Pattern Phonics Flip Cards
In teaching reading, most people find that the whole-word approach is useful
and appropriate for babies and toddlers.
However, being able to decode words phonetically
is critical to long-term reading success.
Traditional phonics methods require the vocalization of letter sounds and blends
and are generally only suitable for children aged 3 and above.
But with Little Reader's unique Pattern Phonics System
and the specially designed Pattern Phonics Flip Cards,
not only will your child be able to start learning phonics as a baby,
but she will do so in the most natural and intuitive way possible!
In much the same way as babies unconsciously and intuitively decipher speech patterns,
they are also capable of absorbing and deciphering word patterns.
Pattern Phonics works by showing words in patterns that facilitate
and accelerate a child's natural ability to decode written language.
You can use the Pattern Phonics Flip Cards to create
hundreds of phonic word combinations with your child and utilize the
Pattern Phonics System to teach your child to read phonetically.
Note that the words don't have to make sense - in fact,
they don't even need to be real words
what’s important is that you sound out each consonant, vowel, and blend as they appear
so that your child can start forming the associations between letters and sounds.
This is how you use the Pattern Phonics Flip Cards:
Open the Flip Card cover to reveal the first word, and enunciate each letter
and blend's sound while running your index finger below the word from left to right,
indicating the direction of reading.
"Buh.. –at… Bat."
This way,
your child can focus entirely on how each letter and blend sounds like,
and at the same time see the pattern in the word you are reading to her.
After that,
simply flip through the cards in the first stack to change the letter combination,
then enunciate the new word for your child.
"Cuh.. –at… Cat."
You can then proceed to many other combinations by flipping through the cards in
one of the three stacks, one card at a time.
Remember to make the experience as fun as possible!
If you find that your child has lost her interest,
just take a break and come back again later.
With the Pattern Phonics Flip Cards,
you can start teaching your child to read phonetically,
an ability that will allow her to read new words without having too much difficulty!
