Let’s get started
Today we will explore hear the last sound in bus 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: Say bus slowly and listen for /s/ at the end.
- Try it as a team: Repeat the sound in a playful game. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Listen to the sound first. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example

Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored hear the last sound in bus. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Say bus slowly and listen for /s/ at the end. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about hear the last sound in bus. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
