Break It Into Sounds
Count and split the sounds in a word. Sh is one sound!
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 3
- Now go the other way: break a word into its sounds. Dog: d, o, g. That's 3 sounds.
- Count sounds, not letters! Fish has 4 letters, but only 3 sounds: f, i, sh. S and h together make one sound.
- Some words have 4 or 5 sounds. Stamp: s, t, a, m, p. That's 5!
- You can also split a word into two chunks: the start, and the rest. Frog is fr and og.
- Tap a finger for each sound you hear.
