This is another post about teaching the Hooked On Phonics.
Below is a video clip taken during one of her revision lessons.
Here are a few guidelines that I follow. I am sure there are better techniques, if you know one, please let me know.
1) Conduct short lessons. In my case, I will stop when my daughter get bored, usually about 10-15 minutes.
2) Praise a lot... I know, I lose patient too, as you can see in video clip. And I did not praise as much as I am supposed to do.
3) Play games.. Hide and Seek Word Game. She finds a word from one page, sometimes, compete with her brothers.
4) Hint my daughter the phonetic sound of the first letter..
5) A bit unusual, but I played spelling game.
6) Practice often.. I print out one copy and let her revised whenever she feels like to do.
I am thankful that my son benefited from this course. I hope that I can repeat this with my daughter. I am encouraged that many friends use this too after I show them the products, I hope that they will be successful too.
My daughter is glad that I shared this with her friends. She seems motivated to read because her friends are reading the same thing!
