Some work needs to be done with learning letter sounds first. You may be able to teach unknown letter sounds while working with magnetic letters.
The word no is a good first word to teach. The n and o sounds can be stretched out. You can teach the phonics rule: A vowel at the end of a word usually makes a long sound by teaching the words no, so, and go.
Here's a video teaching the words no, go, and so.
Continue to teach a vowel at the end of a word usually has a long sound with the words me, he, we, and she. Be sure to teach the sh diagraph. I'd start with the o and e words first when teaching this rule.
Advanced learners will want to know the long u sound is usually spelled with o or oo (to, do, too), the long a sound is usually spelled ay (day, way, play), and the long i sound is usually spelled with a y (my, try, shy).
This rule works if a vowel is at the end of a syllable. Knowing this rule helps early readers decode words. Here's a video showing how to use this rule when trying to sound out a more than one syllable word.

Very cool to see how you are using the film to help expand on your post. Nice teaching tool!
You have inspired me as a blogger to think of possible video insertions I could be creating to support my readers: THANKS!!
Like! Your videos are great. Sometimes, I like to introduce sight words in this manner...those that are similar in pattern together. So glad you've enjoyed the summer with your kids. I will pray that school goes well with them. Enjoy your "free" time!!!
This post is so helpful for both my 4 and 2 year olds. Thank you!
