Ar, As and Ax

Let's learn the 'Ar' family. Write down the letters 'ar' in colored ink on a flash card. Then, write down individual consonants as b, c, f, j, p and t, on separate flash cards. After doing so, place the 'b' flash card in front of the 'ar' card and read aloud the word, 'bar'.

b + ar = bar

Now, replace the 'b' flash card with the 'c' flash card to make the word 'car'. Say it aloud several times, till your child is able to blend 'c' and 'ar' sounds to make word 'car'.

c + ar = car

This excercise should be repeated with all the listed consonants and by the end of this excercise, your child should be able to read these words with ease :

Bar
Car
Far
Jar
Par
Tar
