Learning to read through clustering letters etc. as opposed to the Thai method which is the "drilling" method - anyone recommend a book and a bookstore in Bangkok where I can find a good book to use with a grade 1 child?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to phonics? Where you learn to read and write based on the sounds letters make?

A cluster of consonants would have blended sounds but not all words have clusters.

As for the book. I order everything from Amazon. Much easier and have access to better books. The ones here for phonics are limited and usually sub par.
