The “ng” sound is like when you say “bang” or “sang.” Try saying these words out loud!
Next, let’s look at words that end with “dge”:

See how the vowels stay short? Give them a try!
Finally, let’s look at words ending with “le”:
The “le” makes a gentle sound at the end. Can you say them all?
Now, let’s practice with some sentences. Try reading them out loud:

“The mink will wink as it slinks on the bank next to the creek.”
“The rank smell of the rotten food stank.”
“The small gang of new drummers enjoyed banging and clanging the pots and pans as they sang.”

Here’s a special word to remember: “from.” It sounds like it has a short “o,” so keep it in your memory!
Great job! Keep practicing, and you’ll be a reading pro in no time!
Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects or pictures that have names ending with “ng,” “dge,” “y,” or “le.” For example, you might find a “ring” or a “candy.” Write down the words you find and share them with your friends or family. How many can you find?
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective! Listen carefully to the words you hear throughout the day. Can you spot any words that have the “ng,” “dge,” “y,” or “le” endings? When you hear one, say it out loud and clap your hands. Try to find at least five words by the end of the day!
Create a Story: Use your imagination to create a short story using at least one word from each of the word endings we learned: “ng,” “dge,” “y,” and “le.” Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your class or family. How many different endings can you include in your story?
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

[Music]
We want to learn to read and write. We shall get it right.
[Music]
Here are other endings of words:
[Music]
sing, ring, thing, bring, swing, think, stink, shrink, drink, blank, drank, bank.
The “ng” sounds like: bang, hangs, sang.
Sounds like: strong, long, song, gong, wrong, stung, long, flung, hung.
Are you sure about that?
Sure, I’m sure.
“dge” sounds like: badge, fudge, bridge, judge.
Remember how “i” can sound like “long e”?
Read the words ending in “y”:
The “y” in these words sounds like long “e”: lady, rainy, tiny, shiny, candy, easy, Manny, Annie.
Now you’ll read some more words ending in “y”.
Notice how the consonant in the middle of each one has been doubled. That’s so that the vowel before it stays short: nutty, hobby, puppy, sunny, bunny, muddy, foggy, happy, piggy, penny, funny, pretty.
“L e” at the end of the word makes the old sound:
[Applause]
middle, purple, stumble, little, tumble, turtle, crumble, bubble.
That’s not a word. Sorry, maybe I need to practice words with ending sounds a little more.
Why don’t you try reading these sentences? They have words with the ending sounds you just learned. I’ll show them on the screen. Try to read them before I do:
“Min will bring a string to fix the sling for the bird’s wing.”
“The mink will wink as it slinks on the bank next to the creek.”
“The rank smell of the rotten food stank.”
“The small gang of new drummers enjoyed banging and clanging the pots and pans as they sang.”
“The gong had rung for a long time after the strong king had swung the mallet.”
“The fish under the bridge had to dodge the rock that got nudged off the edge.”
“The crabby tabby had to hurry to eat the food next to the dizzy grizzly’s cave.”
“Take a sample from the kettle with the ladle on the table.”
Wait a minute, you said “from.” It looks like it should be “from” with a short “o.”
That’s right, I forgot to tell you that “f r o m” is one of those special words that you just have to memorize.
Okay, I’ll store that one in my memory banks.
