It becomes a laborious task for your child to learn how to read when given an odd mixture of phonograms to work with. The brain records and remembers things better when they fit into logical categories. For example, if you teach the short "a" sound and then jump over to teaching that "ph" makes the "f" sound, it will make it more difficult for your child to memorize those facts. Instead, teach him all of the five short vowel sounds a, e, i, o, and u first. Then add that "y" can also make a short vowel sound and hang out in that family sometimes.
So, magic key and tip number 2 is, teach phonics in family groups and begin with short vowels first.
