This morning I was pondering teaching young children or children with special needs, sounds. I haven't tried this, but an idea came to mind. Alphabet (or even phonics) hooks.
Attach 26 small hooks to a board which can be hung on the wall. Above each hook write a letter of the alphabet, then have/draw pictures of items beginning with those letters. Make a game of it - see how quickly the child/ren can put the pictures on their correct letter name hooks. Hooks could also be used for phonetic sounds e.g ough, st, tion etc
Learning should always be fun for children so make a game out of each learning experience.
Maria Montessori said: play is work for a child - which is true to a certain extent, but it mustn't be boring so that it becomes a chore!
