ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English HARD G and SOFT G ????♀️ GRAMMAR and SPELLING for Kids???? Superlexia ⭐ Episode 12
Welcome to Smile and Learn! I am Super Lexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. Will you help me defeat spelling and grammar mistakes by following the rules?
Today, we’re going to talk about the letter G. Did you know that this letter has two sounds? It can sound like a soft G (J) or a hard G (G). Let’s find out how to tell the difference!
The soft sound of G is like the sound of jiggling Jello. When G is followed by the letters E, I, or Y, it sounds like J. For example:
In these words, there is an E, I, or Y after the G, so we use the soft G sound.
The hard sound of G is like the sound of drinking a glass of water. When G is in front of the letters A, O, U, or most consonants, it sounds like G. For example:
In these words, there is an A, O, U, or consonant after the G, so we use the hard G sound.
Sometimes, words don’t follow the rules, like “girl,” “gift,” “get,” or “tiger.” The best way to remember these is to learn them by heart and practice reading a lot.
Let’s see if you can tell if these words have a soft G or hard G:

Sound Detective: Go on a “Sound Detective” hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects or items that have names starting with the letter G. Say the name out loud and decide if it uses a hard G or a soft G sound. For example, if you find a “glove,” it has a hard G sound. If you find a “giraffe” toy, it has a soft G sound. Share your findings with a friend or family member!
G Sound Sorting Game: Create two boxes or baskets labeled “Soft G” and “Hard G.” Write down words from the lesson on small pieces of paper, mix them up, and sort them into the correct box based on their G sound. You can also add new words you think of or find in books. This will help you practice identifying the sounds in different words.
Make Your Own G Word Book: Create a mini-book with pages for both soft G and hard G words. Draw pictures or cut out images from magazines that match each word. Write the word under each picture. This will not only help you remember the sounds but also let you create your own storybook to share with others!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome to Smile and Learn! I am Super Lexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. Will you help me defeat spelling and grammar mistakes by following the rules?
Today, we’re going to talk about the letter G. Did you know that this letter has two sounds: a soft sound (J) and a hard sound (G)? So, if we see a letter G, how do we know what it sounds like? Well, there’s a clue in the letter that comes after it.
**Soft G**: The soft sound of G is J, like the sound of jiggling Jello. When G is followed by E, I, or Y, it sounds like J. For example, in the words orange, giraffe, Jim, listen, giant, large, biology, and magic, there is an E, I, or Y after the G, so we use the soft G sound.
**Hard G**: The hard sound of G is G, like the sound of drinking a glass of water. When G is in front of an A, O, U, or most consonants, it sounds like G. For example, in the words game, go, gum, green, goat, galaxy, guy, and glass, there is an A, O, U, or consonant after the G, so we use the hard G sound.
It’s that easy! If you ever doubt, just look at the letter after the G and you’ll know. But beware, there are some common words that don’t follow the rules, like girl, gift, get, or tiger. So be careful! The best way to remember these words is to learn them by heart and practice reading a lot.
Okay, citizens, now let’s test your knowledge! Do these words have a soft G or hard G?
– **Hard G**: gas (the A after the G gives us a clue)
– **Soft G**: logic (when G is with I, it makes a soft sound)
– **Soft G**: Angel (because there’s an E after the G)
– **Hard G**: gut (the U after the G gives us a clue)
– **Hard G**: glue (see the consonant after the G? It gives us a clue)
