Let’s Learn About the “sm” Sound!

Hey there, friend! Today, we’re going to have some fun with sounds. We’re going to learn about a special sound that starts with the letters “s” and “m.” When you put them together, they make the “sm” sound. Let’s see what words we can make with this sound!

Small

First, let’s say the word “small.” Can you say it with me? Small! Great job! “Small” means something is little. Like a tiny bug or a little toy. Can you find something small around you?

Smash

Next, let’s try the word “smash.” Say it with me: Smash! Awesome! “Smash” means to break something into pieces. Like when you smash a cookie and it crumbles. But remember, we should only smash things that are okay to break!

Smile

Now, let’s say the word “smile.” Ready? Smile! Perfect! A “smile” is when you turn the corners of your mouth up because you’re happy. Can you show me your biggest smile? Smiling makes everyone feel good!

Practice Makes Perfect!

Now that you know some “sm” words, you can practice saying them. Try to find more words that start with “sm” and share them with your family and friends. Remember, learning new sounds is like a fun game!

Keep Exploring!

Keep listening for the “sm” sound in other words you hear. The more you practice, the better you’ll get. Have fun exploring and learning new words every day!

  • Can you think of other words that start with the “sm” sound? Maybe you can find some in your favorite storybook or around your house. Share them with us!
  • What is something small that you really like? Why do you like it? Maybe it’s a small toy or a tiny animal. Tell us about it!
  • When was the last time you smiled really big? What made you so happy? Let’s talk about things that make us smile!
  1. Sound Hunt: Go on a “sm” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects or pictures that start with the “sm” sound. For example, you might find a small spoon or a picture of someone smiling. Once you find them, share your discoveries with a friend or family member and say the “sm” word out loud together.

  2. Smash Art: Create a fun art project using the “sm” sound. Gather some colorful paper and safely tear or cut them into small pieces. Then, use glue to “smash” the pieces onto a larger sheet of paper to create a collage. As you work, think about the word “smash” and how you’re using it to make something beautiful!

  3. Smile Chain: Start a “smile chain” with your friends or family. Each person takes turns saying something that makes them smile, like a favorite toy or a fun memory. After sharing, everyone shows their biggest smile. Notice how smiles can spread and make everyone feel happy!
