“For many children practicing the ability to recognize sounds in words can make a big difference in how fast they learn to read.” – Kimberly Oliver Burnim

Learning sound for letters is basically rote learning. Phonics enables the students to master the letter sound which makes learning easier. Today, with the narration of a story ‘What a whale’ the ‘wh’ sound was introduced to the children of KG -II.

Flashcards and picture cards were shown to identify the sound and name the words. Children read the words written on the whale’s body, which was painted on the floor. The lesson ended with an interesting tongue twister ‘ whistling white whispering whale’, which made learning more fun. This helped in developing their linguistic, inter and intra skills.
