Hello there! Welcome to our fun place where we learn new sounds. I’m Cal, and today we’re going to have a great time learning together!
First, let’s learn the sound “cup.” Can you say “cup”? Great job!
Now, let’s pretend to draw the word “cup” in the air with our fingers. Ready? Let’s do it together! Now, let’s try it with our eyes closed. Isn’t that fun?
Can you think of any words that start with “cup”? How about “cut”? “Cut” is for “cookie.” Yum, cookies are sweet!
Let’s say “cup” again. Now, let’s trace it in the air one more time. You’re doing amazing!
Now, let’s learn a new sound, “ma.” Can you say “ma”? Awesome!
Let’s trace “ma” in the air together. Ready? Let’s go! Now, let’s try it with our eyes closed. You’re doing great!
What words do you know that start with “ma”? How about “muffin”? Maggie munches a muffin magnificently. Yum!
Let’s say “ma” again. Now, let’s trace it in the air one more time. You’re a superstar!
Now, let’s learn the sound “ah.” Can you say “ah”? Fantastic!
Let’s trace “ah” in the air together. Ready? Let’s go! Now, let’s try it with our eyes closed. You’re doing wonderfully!
Can you think of any words that start with “ah”? How about “apple”? Alice the astronaut asks for an apple. Apples are yummy!
Let’s say “ah” again. Now, let’s trace it in the air one more time. You’re amazing!
Wow, you learned so much today! You learned the sounds “cup,” “ma,” and “ah.” You’re a sound superstar!
Remember, every day is an adventure, and it all begins with curiosity. Keep exploring and learning new things. I can’t wait to learn more sounds with you next time. Stay curious and have fun!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects that start with the sounds “cup,” “ma,” or “ah.” For example, look for a cup, a mat, or an apple. Once you find them, say the sound out loud and trace the word in the air with your finger. Can you find at least one object for each sound?
Sound Storytime: Create a short story using words that start with “cup,” “ma,” and “ah.” You can draw pictures to go along with your story. For example, “Maggie the mouse found a cup and an apple.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot the sounds you used!
Sound Art: Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw a picture of something that starts with “cup,” “ma,” or “ah.” Label your drawing with the word and practice saying the sound. Hang your artwork somewhere special to remind you of the sounds you’ve learned!
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
