Let’s get started
Today we will explore find the first sound in sun through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Listen to the /s/ at the beginning of sun and smile.
- Try it as a team: Try making the sound out loud. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Repeat the sound in a playful game. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
