Some prefer the whole language method, while others use the phonics approach, and there are also educator that use a mix of different approaches. With the Look-say approach of whole language learning, a child begins with memorizing sight words, and then taught various strategies of figuring out the text from various clues.

The whole language method produces inaccurate and poor readers compared to students of the phonetic approach.

Word Family -at | Phonics Song for Kids | Jack Hartmann

Learn about the at word family. Word families are groups of words that have a common pattern. Word families, sometimes called phonograms or chunks, can help emergent readers by providing predictable patterns within words. Sing along with this at word family song.The first time through we give the beginning sound and the at word family ending sound. The second time through we give a chance for independent practice of the at word family.

When learning to read, patterns are important. Children recognize word patterns and this makes it easier to sound out words.

Sing and move with Jack as he introduces the at word family. These are words that all end with an and have different beginning sounds or blends.
