Here are some good videos which show how we teach initial sounds. We try to make sure that the children don't put the 'uh' sound after 't' 's' etc. The second clip shows a child learning to blend sounds. We hope it may help you with reading at home.
Thank you for your support, The Foundation Phase Team.
