Hello, friend! Today, we are going to have fun learning some new sounds. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
First, let’s learn the sound “la.” Can you say “la”? Great job! Now, let’s pretend we are drawing in the air. Use your finger and trace the sound “la” with me. Now, let’s try it with our eyes closed. Isn’t that fun?
Do you know any words that start with “la”? How about “lantern”? Lanterns are bright and shiny. Lorraine loves looking at lanterns. Can you say “la” again? Awesome!
Next, let’s learn the sound “duh.” Can you say “duh”? Fantastic! Let’s trace “duh” in the air together. Now, let’s try it with our eyes closed. You’re doing great!
What words start with “duh”? How about “duck”? Ducks are so cute! The dapper duck dances delightfully. Can you say “duh” again? Perfect!
Now, let’s learn the sound “wha.” Can you say “wha”? Wonderful! Let’s trace “wha” in the air. Now, let’s try it with our eyes closed. You’re amazing!
What words start with “wha”? How about “whale”? Willa the whale weighs down the wagon. Can you say “wha” again? Excellent!
Today, we learned the sounds “la,” “duh,” and “wha.” You did such a great job! Remember, learning is like an adventure. There are so many places to go and people to meet. Stay curious and keep exploring!
Great job today! I can’t wait to learn more sounds with you next time. Keep having fun and stay curious!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects that start with the sounds “la,” “duh,” and “wha.” For example, look for a lamp for “la,” a doll for “duh,” and a wheel for “wha.” Share what you find with your friends or family and practice saying the sounds together.
Sound Art: Create a piece of art using the sounds “la,” “duh,” and “wha.” Draw or paint a picture of something that starts with each sound. For example, draw a lantern, a duck, and a whale. As you create your art, say the sounds out loud and talk about your picture with a friend or family member.
Sound Storytime: Make up a short story using words that start with “la,” “duh,” and “wha.” For example, “Lila the lantern and Danny the duck went on an adventure to see Willa the whale.” Share your story with a friend or family member and act it out together, using your voice to emphasize the sounds.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
