Great job! Now you know some fun sounds that letters make when they are together. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a reading star in no time!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects or pictures that have the “ch,” “sh,” “th,” “ck,” “ph,” or “wh” sounds. For example, look for a chair for “ch” or a photo for “ph.” Share what you find with a friend or family member and say the word out loud, emphasizing the special sound.
Sound Sorting Game: Create a set of cards with words that have the “ch,” “sh,” “th,” “ck,” “ph,” and “wh” sounds. Mix them up and sort them into groups based on their sounds. You can do this with a friend or family member and see who can sort them the fastest!
Make Your Own Word Book: Create a mini-book where each page is dedicated to a different sound. Draw or cut out pictures from magazines that match the sound on each page. For example, on the “sh” page, you might have a picture of a ship and a shark. Practice saying the words and sounds as you flip through your book.
