Hey there, little learner! Today, we’re going to have fun with letters and sounds. Are you ready? Let’s go!
The letter “G” can make a strong sound like “guh.” The letter “L” makes a sound like “lll.” When we put “G” and “L” together, they make a special sound: “gl.” Let’s try it together: “gl.”
Here are some fun words that start with the “gl” sound:
A globe is a round model of our Earth. It helps us see where different countries and oceans are.
When something shines brightly, we say it gleams. Like the sun on a shiny car!
Something glitzy is sparkly and fancy, like a dress with lots of glitter.
We wear gloves to keep our hands warm or safe. They fit snugly on our fingers!
A glider is a special kind of airplane that can fly without an engine. It glides through the air!
Let’s see if you can say these words with me:
You’re doing amazing! Keep practicing these “gl” words, and soon you’ll be a pro at reading them. Remember, learning is fun, and you’re doing a fantastic job!
Sound Hunt: Go on a “gl” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the “gl” sound. Can you find a glass, a glove, or something that glitters? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with your friends or family!
Create a “Gl” Collage: Gather magazines, newspapers, or printouts and cut out pictures of things that start with the “gl” sound. Glue them onto a piece of paper to create a “gl” collage. You can include words like “globe,” “glitter,” and “glove.” Display your collage in the classroom or at home to show off your “gl” word collection!
Story Time with “Gl” Words: Make up a short story using as many “gl” words as you can. For example, “Once upon a time, a glider flew over a glade where a globe gleamed in the sunlight.” Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your classmates or family. How many “gl” words can you include?
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
