Mnephonics Logic!Mnephonics introduces the sounds of letters through real words that are important to the student (favorite words, words found in poems or songs for presentations, student-made sentences...).
Teacher draws the letter w, and then reveals the object name, shape and pure sound...
w--- Draw the wings (the letter /w/) and then the head, body and legs
Teacher reinforces the association of the pure sound and the letter/object shape through the action/cue:
"Look at my wings. Listen---can you hear them--- /w/."
[Students and teacher shape their arms into the letter 'w' and make the /w/ sound.]
(NOT wuh, but /w/---almost like a hard /oo/ sound, like wings swooshing)
Teacher takes students into "reading" the letter in real text:
Teacher asks students to look in their texts (books, poem, sentence, magazing article, etc...) for all the "wings" (w). When the students find the wings on a page of their text, they flap their wings, making the /w/ sound!
Teachers are able to cue the sound and shape of wings (w) when a student struggles to read or write the /w/ sound within a word.

This blog looks great and offers many great resources for teachers. I have used Mnephonics in my classroom for 5 years and it is amazing how well it works. My students love it and are performing well above grade-level! Thanks
