In this episode we discuss the following three big questions surrounding the teaching of letters and sounds:
1. Shoud we teach the names of letters first, sounds first, or teach them at the same time?
2. How fast should we teach the letters and sounds?
3. How should we handle the complexities of English in connecting sounds to letters?
