phonics printables When teaching your child to read phonics printables do come in handyOn the internet there are untold sites
that have free phonics
printable. But I don’t use them mainly because
the phonics printables are usually in block letters like on a keyboard and
I like to teach cursive. If a child can Don’t
let what I think stop you as there is some really good stuff out there for
free and it all helps. I used to print out phonics printables from the
internet, but I just gave up when I started teaching writing as opposed to
printing. The system I use now is the Montessori system of sandpaper
letters. The kids usually start off writing in the air or tracing the
letters and words on the floor or walls. They don’t usually start
writing on paper until they are ready and want to write. For this system I
don’t use printables just a blackboard the child can write on and it
seems to work perfectly. With the blackboard I save heaps of paper and the
kids still get writing practice. When the kids trace the sandpaper letters
they are learning how to write without holding a pen. So when they pick up
a pen or piece of chalk they can write because they have been learning the
way to write the word by tracing the sandpaper letter. The Montessori
system is very good for homeschooling or as a supplement to what the
children learn in school. I use this program here as it is very effective
and can be adapted to what the child is learning in school. For other
phonics courses I recommend see our teach
