Teaching letter names and sounds to your students can be tricky, so in this episode, I take you through my teaching methods for letter sounds, which is influenced by the phonics curriculum I use, Fundations. I share insights on the significance of phonological awareness as a foundation for early literacy and how it is important to integrate phonological awareness with letter instruction. I also share my structured approach to letter sounds instruction, how many letters to teach each week, and provide systematic review practices and student-led learning.

- Importance of phonological awareness
- Effective letter teaching strategies
- Daily review practices
- Blending simple words
