Teacher tips

• Pair each phonemic activity with a movement cue (clap, tap) to anchor the sound.
• Re-read the same mini-book 3 times across the week — repetition builds fluency, not boredom.

Parent tips

• Keep sessions short — 10 minutes of joy beats 30 minutes of frustration.
• Celebrate every small win out loud. Confidence is the curriculum at this stage.
