\u00a0Level 2\uff1aTip Top Phonics 2A & 2B (3 ~ 4 years old, K1 class\uff09<\/strong><\/h4>\nThis is the age when children begin to make a connection between the words they hear and the letters on a page. We focus on the phonics sounds and do not study the names of the letters. Instead of reading \u201ca\u201d as \u201cei\u201d, we read it as \u201caa\u201d.<\/p>\n
\n- Students will learn 6 vocabulary words for each a-z letter. The goal of teaching them is not to read the words correctly. It is more important for students to focus on the pronunciation of the words as the teacher says them and learn to recognize their Beginning Sound. Discerning between the different Beginning Sounds is the goal of our lessons at this stage.<\/li>\n
- Students will also practice reading words that are a combination of a vowel and a consonant or VC words such as (at, in up…)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
