For the first graders' parents who want to help their kids

             This post is mainly dedicated to the first graders' parents who want to help their kids. Sometimes I hear that parents are eager interested in helping their beginners with English but never studied and aren't able to do this. Or it is worse when from their good intentions they do not get expected results. For instance,  someone learned the ABC by heart with his little one and it even harms when it comes to learning how to read. Another example: pupils also know to count to ten - it's like reciting poems for them  -  it's nice, but when they see number 8 on the flashcard they have to count whispering till 8 to name it correctly. And it 's perfect if nobody distracts them, in another case they have to begin counting from the start.

            There are many examples like these but I would like to pay attention to the one which is on the basis of literacy. What I mean is the correlation between letters and sounds. Parents who studied German or any other language have difficulties to make their child sound correct in English. They can help them with writing but not sounding correctly. 

             The next videos are not my own product. What I want is only to put them together in a collection for the comfort of parents to use and for a better beginning for my little students. I like them too much and also use them at home with my own kids. They are short but with great potential to motivate pupils. In my class, everybody enjoys them and wait impatiently for the next cartoon with the next letter. It is like a serial in my childhood when end at the most amazing moment and you wait forward to the next series.
                I am talking about the LeapFrog Letter Factory ABC. You may search for other videos which you like the most. The next links are for each letter apart.
