Dear All
Just wanted to share my experience about using tactile techniques to teach letter sounds. Hope it helps someone else too :-)
BC, 5yrs, exhibits problems in distinguishing between h and n, b and p, w and m etc. The above technique was used during the remedial sessions to help her. She enjoys craftwork and helped to make the cards. Some letters were made sticking salt granules and others with rice grains. She enthusiastically brought sugar from home also. She made h using salt, n using rice grains and u with the sugar. Letter shapes were traced with a finger. I think the different textures for each letter sound shape (instead of different shapes using the same texture) helped her even further in overcoming the difficulties. Other interesting textures like cellophane tape letters, letters glued with string, textured papers etc were used to make the activity interesting for the child.
