Relation between the word, meaning shape and sound

            As we know, words are around all over the world; letters, ads, newspaper, books, magazines use them. So, words are the most popular mean to communicate with people. No matter if people are close or far. Apart from that, we are used to relate words with a specific meaning, use or purpose. It depends when and where you are using it. One way to learn new words is reading, but now there is a TV program specially for children where they learn new words, its pronunciation, spelling and even they show us a different shape for each word.

                Nowadays, we can learn faster than before due to the global learning, internet and T.V. so, “let’s build a word” focus on that, specially for children between 0-6 years old, English teachers and English students, they focus on catching children’s attention using different colors to build a word, singing and forming a specific figure with the letters of the word.

                This helps us to organize our ideas in order to focus on a good way to teaching and practicing the ability to learn faster easy and simple. And a good tool to go beyond the content of the information and motivate children to learn more about it. Another reason to use it is to develop children’s creativity to let themselves create new figure with their own letters forming a word.

                I think I will use it in class, as a “scrabble”, letting the student build new words with letters and put them to explain the pronunciation, spelling, meaning and the different uses according to the context. I’ll also use songs and some flashy colors to associate sounds with and specific colors.

                All those ways could develop another skill  in order to let themselves learns in the best way they find, easy , so I expect this will be useful for you as a tool to learn new “words”
