Let’s get started
Today we will explore put word beats together 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: Hear but-ter-fly in three claps and say butterfly.
- Try it as a team: Listen to the sound first. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Try making the sound out loud. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example

- Try it again: Hear but-ter-fly in three claps and say butterfly. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about put word beats together. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
