3 Phonics lessons

I love that she uses phonics methods, breaking down words into their single-letter sounds as well as how they sound when combined with other letters. Aya is the perfect balance of never making her student feel silly for needing repetition and explanation but also moving forward immediately and building on prerequisite skills.
