To correctly spell and write the words in English is not an easy task. First, teach the child individual letters and their simple sounds, so called phonics. At this step letter cards with pictures are very useful, as many games can be played with them. They can also be used by child to compose the first words. Once the child knows the individual letters and their sounds, he or she will also be able to distinguish them in individual words. First, he or she will be able to distinguish the first letter, then the last, and gradually will learn to spell whole simple words. Add more complex graphemes and phonemes gradually, as your child makes progress with reading.
