By providing color to letters and syllables, children like them more and will easily recognize and memorize them.
After that start with learning and start pronouncing each letter that is colored. Likewise, pronouncing each syllable has also been given a color, after the child starts memorizing and understanding it, start combining each letter and syllable that has been given that color.
