Phonics Reading Lesson 4…Aa…(short a)

This video provides a clear and simple way for kids to learn how to read in about 10 minutes a day. The lessons are focused on sounding out words based on the sounds each letter represents, rather than naming the letters of the alphabet. In Lesson 4, the new sound "a" is introduced, along with a review of the sounds "m," "s," and "f." The video includes a word list of words from previous lessons that use these sounds. Students practice reading and saying these words both slowly and quickly, which helps with blending sounds together to make words. This phonics practice with blending is an essential part of learning how to read. The video is part of a series of reading lessons made possible by the Socratica Foundation, an educational nonprofit with a mission to build the essential, universal knowledge base every student needs to succeed.
