**What Second Grade Phonics do you need to know to teach your children**

To help your child to succeed with second grade phonics you need to take an active role in what your children learn at

school. And that means helping with homework and looking at the books your children use at school. When you are helping your child to learn to read and write you need to add to the second grade phonic books they use at school.

I recommend books that enhance what your child is learning or books that can supplement it.

For teaching phonics I recommend using the Montessori method with sandpaper letters. This way you can enhance what your child is learning by getting her to trace the letters or words from the second grade phonics class with sandpaper letters. This will help to implant the new words in your child’s mind. You as the home teacher will need to pronounce the phonic sound, but that is nothing to worry about. You will not be introducing any new words just using the words your child is already learning at school.

If you want to buy a book about second grade phonics I recommend this book available at Amazon, Month-by-Month Phonics for Second Grade,This book will help you teach your child phonics as well as how to spell the words. For a Montessori course complete with a section on how to make sandpaper letters try this course, it is very effective.

For courses I recommend see our teach reading page for phonics and Montessori courses.
