Luchie's Anne Alligator Phonics
I developed this phonetic drills out of the challenge to prove something to myself as a teacher. Though, it was developed based on other phonetic methods for children, the entire names for each letters are mine, meaning, I personally know children or persons with these names. I am aware that young children learn their names first and are proud that their names are mentioned in every conversations, so I decided to use children's names to state the sounds of the letters of the alphabet. I made use of animals too for I am sure young children are more interested in any topic as long as animals are included. At the same time children also learn that she is use for a girl and he is use for a boy. For all the name of the letters, I addressed them as either Mr or Mrs for the children to understand that Mr is for a man like their own Dad and Mrs is addressed for a married woman like their own Mum. For the sound of letter U, since there is no known name for U in short vowel sound, I used Ugly duckling as it is a familiar story title for children.
Like most phonetic drills for children, this is also done thru singing. Please sing to the tune of Polly put the kettle on. (or to any appropriate nursery rhyme tune)
