Teaching PH to a child
Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Close your lips, hold the air, then let it burst out. Ask for one more word that starts with PH — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.
In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace PH, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
