Visual Phonics is a visual, aural and kinesthetic way of understanding letter sounds. By attaching a hand motion to a letter name and the sound the letter makes, we are giving beginning readers and writers multiple ways to take in and integrate information. Since being trained in visual phonics over a year ago it has become a key part of my literacy instruction. Every time I teach letter formation I also teach the visual phonics motion, sound and example word. The children are learning the motions/letter names/sounds as an entire alphabet as well so they can call upon them as needed for reading and writing. You can check them out here and your kindergartner can practice at home.
