My favorite video clip about "phonics" for children



When I search Youtube, there are many interesting videos to select. For children who are learning phonics, the goal should be set to be teaching them to pronounce them correctly and make the 26 letters easy for them to remember. I chose this one, taking account for some methodology and theory I learn from SLA course.

At the early learning stage, human (children) prefer to comprehen information/knowledge as a whole. And later, they will gradually develop their analytical thinking and methods to remember things. Moreover, students can be roughly divided into 2 groups: the visual one and the audio one, which means some students receive or comprehend better and faster with the help of charts, circles and other graphic information while some perform better with auditory materials.Taking into all these into consideration, the video fits well with the goal as well as those theories. For one thing, the melody of the song/music is beautiful enough to catch children's attention and they will not feel bored with learning through singing. For another, students can also see pictures of things they are very familiar to appear with every letter, "C" with a cute cat, for example, so those "audio"-type students can also learn the alphabet and pronunciation easily.

Now, let's clip the video and enjoy it again!
