Sound Hunt: Go on a “C” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the “C” sound, like “cup” or “cap.” Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member and practice saying the words together.
Sound Sorting: Create two boxes or areas labeled “Fast Sounds” and “Slow Sounds.” Gather small objects or pictures of things that start with different sounds. Sort them into the correct box based on whether they start with a fast sound like “c” or a slow sound like “s.” Discuss why each item belongs in its box.
Make a “C” Sound Book: Use paper to create a small book. On each page, draw or paste a picture of something that starts with the “C” sound, like a cat or a car. Write the word underneath the picture. Practice reading your book aloud to a friend or family member, emphasizing the “C” sound at the beginning of each word.
