Answer

Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

For children, it is best to teach by having them copy the sound of the teacher, especially young children.  The teacher needs to repeat the sound many times and correct them by sound if their sound is not correct.   Children have an amazing ability to pick up the accurate sound and implement it in the recitation, as long as they are hearing the correct sound and being prompted to make a similar sound. 

Wa iyyaakum

Wa assalaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
