What children learn in Level 16
- Some words sound almost alike. Goat, coat, boat. Only the beginning is different!
- So we listen very carefully to the whole word. Coat. That's the one you wear!
- Your turn! Point to the one I say: boat.
- Bear, pear, chair. Listen: pear. That's the fruit!
- Try it with a grown-up! Your grown-up says a word, like sock or rock. Point to it in the room, or act it out!
