Today, we are going to have fun learning about the sounds that letters make! Let’s start with two special letters: “s” and “k”.
The letter “s” makes a sound like a snake hissing. Can you say /s/? Great! Now, the letter “k” makes a sound like a kangaroo kicking. Can you say /k/? Awesome!
When we put “s” and “k” together at the end of a word, they make a new sound: /sk/. Let’s practice saying some words with the /sk/ sound at the end:
Now, let’s try some more words. See if you can say them with me:
You did a fantastic job learning about the sounds of “s” and “k” and how they come together to make /sk/. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a letter sound expert in no time!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects or things that have the /s/ or /k/ sound in their names. For example, you might find a “sock” for /s/ or a “cup” for /k/. Can you find something with the /sk/ sound, like a “desk”? Share what you find with a friend or family member!
Word Building with Blocks: Use letter blocks or cards to build words that end with the /sk/ sound. Start with simple words like “mask” or “task”. Mix and match the blocks to create new words. How many different /sk/ words can you make? Try saying each word out loud and listen to the /sk/ sound at the end.
Draw and Describe: Draw a picture of something that has the /sk/ sound at the end, like a “mask” or “desk”. Then, describe your drawing to a friend or family member. Use sentences like, “This is a mask. It has the /sk/ sound at the end.” See if they can guess what you drew based on your description!
