Homeschool Helper with Charisse Van Horn

Learning to read is one of the most fundamental skills that homeschooled children need to develop.  The first three grades place heavy focus or emphasis upon learning to read and a great part of those activities include teaching phonics.  When teaching phonics it is important to understand how phonics works to make certain that the principles are being taught accurately.  There are numerous ways to ensure that students get the phonics reinforcement that they need to advance their reading skills. Using index cards to write words that will be used for drills is a great way to inexpensively create your own phonics tools.  Some of the skills that will need to be taught include phonetic sounds, blending, and ultimately reading.
