Wow! I've never heard that before. That will be a great help to dd ; )
Thanks so much.
I am from Poland and there is no manuscript teaching in our schools. Starting at first grade (have to be 7 before Jan 1st of the year) we learn only cursive. Our cursive is not as complicated as the "normal old-fashioned" English do, so it is easier…
How wonderful! Well, I would not have guessed that English wasn't your native language from your post, you seem to have a great handle on it. I've had 2 years of Spanish and 3 of Latin but my skills are sorely lacking!

I am Polish, so this is my native lang. and I also speak Russian. I've had German at shcool, but I forgot a lot of it and some basic Latin.

Can he sound them out one letter at a time--instead of trying to sound out "tr" as a unit, can he very distinctly segment the T from the R? Then can he hear the difference?
Merry :-)
Good question. I think you need to teach them to pronounce this for spelling purposes as tr. But I'll be awaiting others answers!

I mean...they sound the same in words like tree, try, trunk etc.where we live (mid-West). How do you teach what goes when? Even if my ds is sounding out slowly, he does not know which one to use. Is this smth that has to be memorized over time, whic…

I would like your suggestion to my daughter Suzanna Christy who is studying First standard in an English Medium School. She needs some motivation to read lessons on her own. What are the methods? Kindly suggest some methods. Thank you.
