Here are some of the books I read about learning how to read; and DVDs I borrowed from our local library that taught my kids the alphabet and letter sounds. I will be posting more in the near future.
And here is our little learning corner. You don't need a whole lot of items to start your own learning or reading corner. All you need is a little imagination and start with what you have.
Read Pinoy Kids is a nonprofit initiative that aims to provide free books to low income elementary and high school kids in the Philippines. Filipinos refer to themselves as "Pinoy". We welcome cash or book donations. If you have questions on how to send in your donations, please click Contact us. Maraming salamat po! (Thank you very much!)

Phonological and phonemic awareness
What is phonological and phonemic awareness?
According to Anna Geiger, of The Measured Mom, "phonological awareness is different than phonics because it’s about sounds and not letters. Children can develop phonological awareness with their eyes closed."
Here is my 6-year old son's favorite rhyming book, Monster Trucks! by Mark Todd.
Ms. Geiger also wrote:
Phonological awareness includes:
- understanding of word
- rhyming ability
- understanding syllables
- phonemic awareness
