Let’s Learn About the “gl” Sound!

Today, we are going to have fun with the “gl” sound! This sound is made when the letters “g” and “l” come together. Let’s see some words that start with “gl” and learn what they mean!

Words with “gl”

Glad

When you feel happy, you are glad! It’s like when you smile because something nice happened.

Glove

A glove is something you wear on your hand to keep it warm or safe. You might wear gloves when it’s cold outside or when you play in the snow!

Glasses

Glasses are special things you wear on your face to help you see better. Some people wear glasses to read or watch TV.

Glow

When something shines softly in the dark, it glows. Like a nightlight or the stars in the sky!

Let’s Practice!

Can you think of other words that start with “gl”? Maybe you can find some around your house or in a book. Try saying them out loud and listen to the “gl” sound!

Have Fun Learning!

Learning new sounds and words is like going on an adventure. Keep exploring and discovering new things every day!

  • Can you think of a time when you felt glad? What happened that made you feel that way?
  • Do you have a favorite pair of gloves or glasses? What do they look like, and when do you use them?
  • Have you ever seen something glow in the dark? What was it, and how did it make you feel?
  1. Gl Sound Hunt: Go on a “gl” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the “gl” sound, like a globe or a glue stick. Once you find them, say the word out loud and listen to the “gl” sound. Can you find at least three items?

  2. Create a “Gl” Collage: Gather magazines, newspapers, or printed images and cut out pictures of things that start with the “gl” sound. Glue them onto a piece of paper to create a “gl” collage. Share your collage with the class and say the names of the items you found.

  3. 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 glad girl wore gloves and glasses to see the stars glow.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the “gl” words!
