Learn to read by pronouncing the sounds of letters, not their names.

Learn to read.

The second key figure in a child's learning journey is the supportive adult. This adult can guide the child through specific exercises. These activities help the child observe mouth movements and understand how to shape their lips to produce sounds accurately.

To achieve this, we begin with a select group of simpler alphabet letters, using them to form animal names and common words. In this method, we focus on the SOUND of the letter, not its name.

Initially, adults should practice alongside the child, remembering that reading is a process. Later, the child can use the application independently, with occasional return to joint practice. After some time, adults can move to the "Discover the Word" section and engage in exercises with the child:

1- Ask the child to pronounce the sound of each letter in the word TREE.

2- After practicing for a moment, ask, "What did you say?"

3- Never tell the child the word they just spoke.

We repeat this process, encouraging the child to say the sounds for "tree" more quickly, thereby shortening the pause between each sound. Continue this exercise, resisting the urge to provide the answer. One day, when asked "What did you say?", the child will exclaim, "I said TREE!" That's the moment to celebrate—the child has begun to read.

Soon, you'll notice a growing eagerness to read every word encountered. This is the time to gradually introduce more complex letters, such as the letter C, which can have a soft sound (sky) or a hard sound (house) depending on the letters around it. The remaining letters of the alphabet will also be introduced. It is crucial to respect each child's individual pace and learning process.
