Ever wonder why English spelling is difficult?
Hello-
This video falls into the category of FYI (for your information) and may help to explain why English can be a difficult language to learn in terms of spelling.
Understanding the background of English also makes the case for «deep learning» of English phonics, so that students have a variety of tools to help them master this tricky language.
We hope you enjoy the video.
This next link gives very concrete examples of just why English is confusing.
So, the method we are currently using at Alquería is a method of synthetic phonics. For more information, please see this entry from our colleague in the preschool explaining the initial stages of synthetic phonics.
