 Foreword
At a very early age, a child can already utter basic
sounds and can appreciate pictures. Next they begin to
understand that letters make sounds and form words.
This is the progression of phonological awareness. Thus,
as early as the year 2000, many reputable collegial
bodies have unanimously agreed that phonics is the best
approach to early reading.

This first volume of 21st Century Teachers Tales Phonics in

Reading for Beginners, a compilation of short vowels
sound aims to provide early knowledge givers a tool to
use for their loved ones. By knowledge giver, we mean
teachers, mothers, nannies, relatives OR even volunteers
who spend time with kids. What better way to care for
and bond with kids than by teaching them how to read.

21st Century Teachers' Tales are short stories with guides

that are easy to understand that can turn anyone, with
enough love and care into a knowledge giver.

Happy Teaching! Happy Reading!
