Hi there! Today, we are going to have fun learning about the letter “R”. The letter “R” is a special letter in the alphabet. It makes a sound like this: “rrrr”. Can you try saying it? “Rrrr”. Great job!
Let’s think of some words that start with the letter “R”. How about “rise”? When the sun comes up in the morning, we say it “rises”. Can you say “rise”? Awesome!
Another word is “rest”. When you feel tired, you might want to take a little nap or “rest”. Can you say “rest”? Perfect!
Let’s play a game! Look around your room and see if you can find something that starts with the letter “R”. Maybe you see a “rug” or a “robot”. What did you find?
Now, let’s draw something that starts with “R”. You can draw a “rainbow” with lots of colors or a “rabbit” hopping around. Drawing is so much fun!
Let’s sing a little song to remember the “R” sound. It goes like this:
“R is for rise, rrr, rrr, rise. R is for rest, rrr, rrr, rest. R is for rainbow, rrr, rrr, rainbow. R is for rabbit, rrr, rrr, rabbit.”
Sing it with me! Singing helps us remember the sounds and words.
Remember to keep practicing the “R” sound. You can find more words that start with “R” and say them out loud. The more you practice, the better you’ll get!
Thanks for learning with me today. You’re doing an amazing job! Keep having fun with letters and sounds. See you next time!
R Sound Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letter “R”. Can you find a “rock”, “ribbon”, or “remote”? Once you find them, try saying their names out loud and emphasize the “R” sound. Share your findings with a friend or family member and see if they can find more “R” objects!
R Sound Art Project: Create an art project using items that start with “R”. You can use red paint to make a “rose” or cut out shapes to make a “rocket”. As you work on your art, practice saying the “R” sound and the name of your creation. Display your artwork and explain what you made to your classmates or family.
R Sound Story Time: With the help of a teacher or parent, create a short story using as many “R” words as you can. For example, “Once upon a time, a rabbit named Rosie went on a ride to see a rainbow.” Illustrate your story with drawings and share it with your class. How many “R” words did you use?
