Capturing the attention and finding the fun zone of a 3 to 5 year old is quite easy as you discover what makes her laugh, is silly or interesting in a one on one moment….sometimes in less than a few minutes. It could be the names of her toys, the name of her doll, her stuffed animals, her puppy or kitty, her uncle, her grandparents, her favorite foods, the words on the cereal box, cartoon characters, or the birds in the sky or the bugs hiding in the grass. I connect these people, things, animals and food and much more to the basic initial phonetic sounds (noise) in a very child friendly way that I describe in detail. They find this irresistible.
There are no DVDs, complicated teaching methods, pedantic anxieties, workbooks, no big deal, no sit down and listen, no be quiet and pay attention, or any of the common methods used today with my approach. It is just about mastering the basic phonetic sounds in a VERY funny, playful, stress free and very relatable manner. This is it, and I have seen this approach work over and over again.

Read POETRY to your child. Edward Lear is a wonderful resource. The Owl and The Pussycat and his limericks are engaging fun. You want them to enjoy the language, and enjoy the sound of words.
Poetry: Nursery rhymes, songs, and poetry are a key part of literacy development, says Bernice E. Cullinan, Ph.D., professor emerita at New York University. “Listening to, and repeating, poetry is a wonderful way for children to learn phonemic awareness. That is the ability to notice and isolate the individual sounds, or phonemes, in words, like the “c” in cat or the “b” in bat — a key skill for future success in reading. Preschoolers first learn that speech is made up of sounds, syllables, and words indirectly from listening to stories, nursery rhymes, poetry, and conversations. They gain phonemic awareness, says Cullinan, by “playing with language” — by meowing like the cat in the story a teacher is reading, or making up nonsense rhymes. Rhyming games also help children think about sound and the structure of words.
