This course gives us an idea of why we pay attention to phonics in children, and points the way. Not bad.

I totally agree with this course. As a mother, I have been paying great attention to my baby's pronunciation training.

This course teaches us as parents the importance of phonics in early childhood. We need to develop our children's pronunciation in different ways.

I personally enjoyed the course a lot. It was great to see the number of curriculums and activities which go behind to help nurture the child.
