Parent Guidance
Start with 3–5 letter sounds your child already recognizes by shape. Practice each sound daily for a week before adding new letters. If your child confuses similar sounds like /b/ and /d/, focus on one at a time until it becomes automatic.
Helpful tip
Children often say the letter name instead of the sound. Gently remind them: 'We're listening for the sound the letter makes, not its name.' Keep practice playful and pressure-free.

Parent FAQ
Should my child learn letter names or sounds first?
Sounds first. Children need letter sounds to decode words. Letter names can be learned alongside or after sounds are secure.
How many letter sounds should my child practice at once?
Start with 3–5 sounds. Add new sounds only after your child can recall the first group quickly and accurately.
My child keeps saying the letter name instead of the sound. What should I do?
This is very common. Gently correct: 'That's the letter's name. What sound does it make?' Use the sound in simple words to reinforce the difference.
How long does it take to learn all letter sounds?
Most children learn the basic 26 letter sounds in 8–12 weeks with daily 5–10 minute practice. Progress varies by age and prior exposure.
Can this game replace phonics classes?
This game builds sound recognition. Phonics classes add blending, decoding strategies, spelling rules, teacher correction, and progress tracking for complete reading readiness.
