COMMON MISTAKES TO WATCH FOR
- b/d confusion – Students often reverse these letters. Remind them: "bat before ball" (b has the stick first) vs "doughnut on a stick" (d has the circle first).
- Letter name vs. sound – Some students say "see" for /k/ or "ess" for /s/. Emphasise: "What sound does it make?" not "What is its name?"
- Vowel confusion – Short vowels e/i and o/u are commonly mixed. Use picture cues and mouth shape practice.
- Ending sounds – Students often focus on beginning sounds and guess the rest. Practise saying words slowly and tapping out each sound.
- Digraphs – The concept that two letters make one sound (sh, ch, th, ng) is new. Explicit teaching and practice needed.
