I think we naturally do that at our house and have a few “games” we play when we change sounds. Good advice for all of us!

I have been reading your posts on teaching your kids to read and just wanted to add how important phonological awareness is. I am a pre-k teacher and have also taught Kindergarten. Phonological awareness is all about sounds and manipulating them. Beyond letter sounds and blends you should focus heavily on rhyming, syllables, blending (stretching the sounds apart and putting them back together in a word such as /c/ /a/ /t/ cat) and manipulating sounds such as changing the beginning sound or middle sound, etc. Just something to think about!

Those were their favorite toys to play with in the tub and they both (Bria was especially obsessed with letters) knew their alphabet letters before they were 2.
