Teaching the ABCs, the letter-sounds of English

Teaching the ABCs and how to read VC (vowel-consonant) and CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words with letters SATP – some suggestions.

For beginners, start with line 1 of the chart. Explain each letter-sound, e.g., this is — /s/. This is /a/. This is /t/. This is /p/. Students practice saying the sounds when you point to them, s-a-t-p. Students practice sounding out words on the sidebar, a-t at, s-a-t sat, p-a-t pat, t-a-p tap. Teacher can point to letter sounds and students say what the word is, e.g., teacher points to a, points to t – the word is —- “at”. Keep up the practice until students can read all the letter-sounds on lines 1-7 and sound out all the words on the sidebar.
