No matter what I try, he doesn't understand that sounding out is essentially a superficial way of saying the word. <.<
Go, if possible, to an elementary school and ask (a) teacher(s) for advice.
I'm sure they know how to teach that kids.

When I teach my nephews maths or so I have a reward ready for them. It'll give them something to look forward to -> more afford.
