1. Teaching Paperless

2. What is Teaching Paperless
During my 10 plus years of teaching language I found that using written language created students to be depended on paper to form fluency. Unfortunately the dependence created a lack of proper fluency. It created a lack of confidence in speaking the language with peers.
You can incorporate written text in the upper middle years once students have developed proper sound acquisition.
Remember the key is teaching fluency not the ability to read and write

3. Sound Chart
Each language group has it’s own sound chart which is critical to learn so that proper sounds are learned which translates into proper pronunciation.
The sound chart can be a visual tool as most young children are use to see the English alphabet sound chart
