Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about something called a “digraph.” A digraph is when two letters come together to make one sound. Isn’t that cool?
Now, let’s talk about the “wr” digraph. When you see the letters “w” and “r” together at the start of a word, they make a special sound. The “w” is silent, so it sounds just like the letter “r.” Let’s say it together: “wr” sounds like “r.”
Here are some fun words that start with “wr”:
Your wrist is the part of your body that connects your hand to your arm. Can you touch your wrist?
When you wrap a gift, you cover it with pretty paper. Do you like wrapping presents?
A wreath is a circle made of flowers or leaves. People hang wreaths on their doors to make them look nice. Have you ever seen a wreath?
Now it’s your turn! Can you think of any other words that start with “wr”? Try saying them out loud. Remember, the “w” is silent, so it sounds like “r.”
Here’s a fun activity: Draw a picture of a wrist, a wrapped gift, and a wreath. Then, practice writing the words “wrist,” “wrap,” and “wreath” next to your drawings. Show your drawings to someone special and teach them about the “wr” digraph!
You’re doing an amazing job learning about digraphs! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a digraph expert. Remember, learning is fun!
Word Hunt: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom to find objects or pictures that start with the “wr” digraph. For example, look for a picture of a wristwatch or a wrapped candy. Once you find them, say the word out loud and emphasize the “wr” sound. Can you find at least three items?
Story Time: Create a short story using words that start with the “wr” digraph. You can use words like “wrist,” “wrap,” and “wreath.” Draw pictures to go along with your story. Share your story with a friend or family member and ask them to listen for the “wr” words.
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen for the “wr” sound in conversations or stories. Every time you hear a word with the “wr” digraph, raise your hand or make a fun sound like a bell. How many “wr” words can you catch in a day?
It seems like the transcript contains a lot of repeated and nonsensical sounds. A sanitized version could simply focus on the recognizable words. Here’s a cleaned-up version:
“Wrist, strap, wreath.”
