Teaching Kids Non-Phonetic Words in Homeschooling

About this time we're going to work on non-phonetic words. We call them non-phonetic because phonics are the basic building blocks of letter sounds that we were talking about up until this point. Non-phonetic words are words that don't follow the rule that we're learning. There are a lot of them in English and we have to cover them right away otherwise we cannot write a lot of sentences, we'll be very limited. So for these we don't put them in our word notebook because we want to practice them, they don't follow the rule. Children learn these purely by memorization. By looking at them and identifying them by how they look. So we use flashcards for these. Get your 3x5 cards and make some basic ones. Now we're going to use simple words because we're still working on simple 2 and 3 letter words. Here are some of the most basic 2 and 3 letter words that are going to be needed to make sentences in the beginning but they don't follow the simple phonetic rule of the short vowel in the first letter sounds. We have we, we have you, my, all of our pronouns here. She, he, by, and I'm going to pile these up, to, of, the, probably the most important in the beginning and way. And if you can think of any other that are simple. We make these into a pile and we work on them as flashcards.
