Having read about teaching children sounds on the synthetic phonics course, I had an eureka moment. I child I know struggles to get her 'b' and 'd's the right way around. I made her a small case letter b and d out of felt and asked her to stick sequins and other bits onto the front of each. This gave her a tactile resource that she was able to hold and feel. Knowing the side with the different texture was the top and highlighted which way around the letter went. She loved idea and really enjoyed putting it together but it is too soon to decide whether it has been of benefit. I look forward to finding out...
