Today, we are going to have fun with letters! We will learn about the letter “d” and the letter “r.” Each of these letters makes a special sound.
The letter “d” makes the sound “d,” like in the word “dog.” Can you say “d” with me? Great! Now, the letter “r” makes the sound “r,” like in the word “rabbit.” Let’s say “r” together. Awesome!
When we put “d” and “r” together, they make a new sound: “dr.” It’s like a team of letters working together! Let’s say “dr” together. Good job!
Now, let’s look at some words that start with “dr.” Can you read them with me?
This word means something that is not very colorful.
This word can mean a first try at writing something.
This is what you do when you make pictures with crayons or pencils.
This is a tool that helps make holes in things.
This is a person who drives a car or a bus.
This is a machine that helps dry your clothes after they are washed.
You did a wonderful job learning about the “dr” sound and reading new words. Keep practicing, and you’ll get even better!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the “dr” sound. Can you find a drum or a drawer? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member.
Create a “dr” Collage: Gather some old magazines or newspapers with the help of an adult. Look for pictures of things that start with the “dr” sound. Cut them out and glue them onto a piece of paper to make a “dr” collage. Can you find a picture of a dragon or a dress? Display your collage for everyone to see!
Story Time with “dr”: Use your imagination to create a short story using as many “dr” words as you can. Maybe it’s about a driver who loves to draw or a drab dragon who finds a colorful world. Share your story with your class or family and see how many “dr” words you included!
