I think teaching letter names and sounds together is OK for older learners. With younger learners the above method works better. That �s what I have found out myself during the ten-year period of teaching English - it �s not too long but long enough I think. I �m glad that I helped you.
Enjoy your classes!

I know this is an old post, but I teach two-year-olds. As far as alphabets and phonics go, I teach them together. I use alphabet flashcards with pictures that are relevant to the sound and have actions. ah-ah-Aa (moving arms like an alligator�s mouth) Aa is for alligator. I have two year old students who can see those letters and remember the letter�s name and sound because of the action associated with it.
As far as teaching other lessons in English, I create thematic units with hands on activities and story books that re-enforce vocabulary. Some are also based on songs we normally go to on YouTube. It makes teaching the theme and language quicker because there�s a song to go with it.
