Answer

Leapfrog fridge phonics. I had it for my son who’s 9 and I’ll be getting it again for my new littles!

Answer

I teach early childhood special education and we use a program called visual phonics where you use hand signals similar to sign language when teaching letters and their sounds

Answer

I sing this song from the YouTube kids channel the Nemies, that’s so catchy. We sing it every day in the bath as I hand him his foam letters. It’s just “a makes the sound of a a a...” and so on, but it’s so fun sounding and he knows the video. My son is 2 and a half and can sound out short words already like car, cat, bib. Nothing huge but these phonetic videos and songs, doing them in the car and bath, have helped a lot.

Answer

I'm using ABCMouse.com with my 2 year old son. It helps a lot. You should try it.

Answer

Definitely read a lot! You can also look at jolly phonics on YouTube which has the sounds with actions. Also when you are talking to her, for example having an Apple, Apple starts with ‘a’, (the sound not the letter name). 
Ask the teacher what program she uses for sounds as well, and use the same for consistency.

Answer

This may be weird & my LO is only 7 months, but I sing the alphabet phonetically to him “ah ah, buh buh” 🤷‍♀️
