Getting Ready F
What this lesson is about
A review of the consonant sounds from A through E. Nothing new is taught. This is a chance to see which sounds your child finds tricky.
Try it
- Pick any sound and have your child copy it or listen while you notice together what your mouth does and whether your voice buzzes.
- Take turns making familiar sounds slowly and playfully. Your child can copy you, watch, or choose a sound for you to model.
- Make a mouth-sounds scavenger hunt: model a stop sound such as /p/, then look together for objects whose names begin with it.
