I feel lucky to be able to spend a few months in London each year with my daughter's family with 2 grandchildren, ages 1 and 3 years. This helps to keep me on my early literacy toes and I get to use and test the podcast! I spend the rest of the year between the east coast of the US and rural Jamaica.

++Season 4 is made up of episodes recorded from each of these 3 places.

++Episode 1 has a distinctive British flavour. Cheers!

 🌱 Funny Phonics is wonky, wordplay fun geared to 2-5 years AND fun for ALL. Just 10 minutes a day builds a lifetime of learning.  

IMPORTANT  Parents and caregivers can help to grow readers from birth when they play with words and sounds in fun and engaging ways.  Let's show little ones how much fun it is to play with words.

 *Sometimes, draw attention to the Ss/ and Aa/ sounds that are in the episode and sometimes refrain from doing so and just have fun!

PHONICS: The understanding that there is a predictable relationship between phonemes (the sounds of the spoken language) and graphemes (the letters and spellings that represent those sounds in written language) - -Bonnie Armbruster. Put Reading First: The Research Building Blocks for Teaching Children to Read, National Institute of Literacy.

PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS: Is the ability to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words.

LETTER KNOWLEDGE: Knowing that each letter has different sounds and names.

+Things to do with your little one: find shapes around your home - shapes are everywhere! COUNT steps on a staircase. SORT toys - things with wheels, soft toys, circles or spheres. NOTE numbers on buses or signs.

CONSIDER THIS: To help a child grow their language, we talk, read and sing to them. We need to do the same with math. Baby STEM will help!
