Today, we are going to have some fun with letters and sounds! Did you know that the letter “l” makes the sound “l” like in “lion”? And the letter “p” makes the sound “p” like in “panda”? When we put “l” and “p” together, they make a new sound: “lp”!
Let’s practice saying some words that end with “lp.” Are you ready? Here we go!
Imagine you are drinking a big glass of water. You take a big gulp!
When you drink orange juice, sometimes there are little bits of orange in it. That’s called pulp!
Kelp is a type of seaweed that grows in the ocean. It’s like a plant that lives underwater!
Your scalp is the skin on your head where your hair grows. Give it a gentle pat!
A whelp is a baby animal, like a puppy. Isn’t that cute?
When a dog barks loudly, it might make a yelp sound. Can you bark like a dog?
When you need a hand, you can ask for help. Helping each other is kind!
Now that you know how “lp” sounds, try finding more words that end with “lp” around you. Maybe you can even make up your own silly words!
Thanks for learning with us today! Keep practicing your sounds and have fun with words!
Sound Hunt: Go on a “sound hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for objects or pictures that have names ending with the “lp” sound. For example, you might find a picture of a dog and say, “When a dog barks, it might yelp!” Share your findings with a friend or family member and see if they can think of more “lp” words.
Create a Story: Use your imagination to create a short story using as many “lp” words as you can. You can start with something like, “Once upon a time, a little whelp needed help to find some kelp in the ocean.” Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your class or family.
Sound Experiment: Try making the “lp” sound with different voices. Can you say “gulp” in a whisper? How about “help” in a loud voice? Practice saying the words with different emotions, like happy, sad, or surprised. Notice how the sound changes with your voice and feelings!
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Today, we learned that the letter “l” makes the sound “l” and the letter “p” makes the sound “p.” When we put “l” and “p” together at the end of a word, they create the sound “lp.”
Let’s practice reading those words again that have the letters “lp” at the end.
