Practicing Sounds of Letters

  • Sing silly songs where you start every word with the focus letter; then sing the tune just saying the name of the letter over and over.

EX: Bary bad a bittle bamb, bittle bamb, bittle, bamb.

Bary, bad a bittle bamb. Its bleece

was bite as bow. B,b,b,b,b,b,b, b,b,b, b,b,b ......

  • Play rhyming games such as "I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with cat and begins with b (bat).

  • Play deletion games such as :

"What is cart without the /c/?" (art)

"What is bark without the /k/?" (bar)

  • Show your child a flashcard with a letter on it. Ask them to give you the sound the letter makes and a word that begins with that sound.
