Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about the letter N. Let’s start by thinking about a yummy food that begins with N. Can you guess what it is? It’s noodles!
When we say the word “noodles,” we can hear the special sound that the letter N makes. It sounds like /n/. Try saying it with me: /n/, /n/, noodles! Did you hear the /n/ sound at the beginning?
Now that you know the sound, you can practice finding other words that start with the letter N. Maybe you can think of “nest” or “night.” Listen for the /n/ sound at the start of each word.
Learning letters can be a lot of fun, especially when you connect them to things you like, like noodles! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a pro at recognizing the letter N and its sound.
Happy learning!
Noodle Art: Gather some uncooked noodles and use them to create art! Arrange the noodles on a piece of paper to form the letter N. You can also use glue to stick them down and decorate your artwork with crayons or markers. As you create, think about other words that start with the letter N and say them out loud.
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the /n/ sound. For example, you might find a napkin, a notebook, or a necklace. Make a list of all the items you find and share them with a friend or family member. How many N words can you discover?
Noodle Necklace: Make a noodle necklace! Use a piece of string and some uncooked noodles with holes, like penne or macaroni. Thread the noodles onto the string to create a necklace. As you work, practice saying the /n/ sound and think of other words that start with N. Wear your necklace proudly and teach someone else about the letter N!
