Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn something fun about words. Did you know that when you see the letters “dge” together at the end of a word, they make a special sound? It’s the “j” sound, just like in the word “jump”!
Let’s look at some words that end with “dge” and make the “j” sound. Try to read them with me:
Now that you know how “dge” makes the “j” sound, try finding more words with this sound. You can even make a game out of it! Remember, learning new words is like adding new tools to your toolbox. The more you know, the more you can do!
Thanks for learning with me today! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a pro at spotting the “dge” sound in words. Happy reading!
Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your house or classroom. Look for objects or items that have names ending with the “dge” sound. For example, you might find a “fridge” in the kitchen or a “badge” on a jacket. Write down the words you find and share them with your friends or family. How many can you discover?
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen for the “dge” sound in conversations, TV shows, or stories. Each time you hear a word with the “dge” sound, make a note of it. Try to use these words in your own sentences. Can you create a short story using at least three “dge” words?
Create a “Dge” Collage: Gather magazines, newspapers, or printouts and cut out pictures of things that have names ending with the “dge” sound. Glue them onto a piece of paper to make a collage. Label each picture with its name. Share your collage with your class and explain what each item is.
