Hello there! I’m so happy you joined me in the dark. Tonight, we’re going to have fun learning some new sounds together!
First, let’s make the sound “eh.” Can you say it with me? Great job!
Now, let’s pretend to draw the letter “E” in the air. Ready? Let’s do it together!
Close your eyes and try tracing “E” in the air again. You’re doing amazing!
Can you think of any words that start with “E”? How about “elephant”? Elephants are big and have long trunks!
Next, let’s learn the sound “nuh.” Can you say it with me? Awesome!
Let’s trace the letter “N” in the air. Let’s do it together!
Now, close your eyes and trace “N” in the air again. You’re a star!
What words start with “N”? How about “noodles”? Noodles are yummy to eat!
Now, let’s learn the sound “kuh.” Can you say it with me? Fantastic!
Let’s trace the letter “K” in the air. Ready? Let’s go!
Close your eyes and trace “K” in the air again. You’re doing great!
Can you think of words that start with “K”? How about “karate”? Karate is a fun sport!
Wow, you’ve learned so much today! You learned the sounds “eh,” “nuh,” and “kuh.” You’re amazing!
Remember, life is an adventure. Look at the stars, look at your feet, and think about all the places you can go and the people you can meet. Every day is a new chance to learn something fun!
Great job today! I can’t wait to learn more sounds with you next time. Stay curious and keep exploring!
Sound Scavenger Hunt: Go on a sound scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the sounds “eh,” “nuh,” and “kuh.” For example, you might find an “egg” for “eh,” a “napkin” for “nuh,” and a “key” for “kuh.” Share what you find with a friend or family member!
Sound Art: Create a piece of art using the letters “E,” “N,” and “K.” Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw pictures of things that start with each letter. For example, draw an “elephant” for “E,” “noodles” for “N,” and “kite” for “K.” Display your artwork in a special place!
Sound Storytime: With a grown-up, make up a short story using words that start with “E,” “N,” and “K.” For example, “Eddie the Elephant and Nancy the Noodle went on an adventure to learn karate.” Share your story with your class or family and see if they can spot the words that start with the sounds you learned!
