Today, we are going to have fun with a special sound. It’s the ‘j’ sound! Let’s learn how to say it together.
Can you say “jacket”? Let’s try it together: jacket, jacket, jacket. Great job!
Now, let’s try another word. Can you say “jet”? Let’s say it together: jet, jet, jet. Awesome!
Let’s play a game! Look around you and see if you can find something that starts with the ‘j’ sound. Maybe you have a toy jet or a jacket at home!
Did you know that the ‘j’ sound is like a gentle jump? It’s a happy sound that starts with a little buzz in your mouth. Try making the ‘j’ sound and feel the buzz!
Remember, the more you practice, the better you’ll get at saying the ‘j’ sound. Keep listening and repeating, and soon you’ll be a ‘j’ sound expert!
Have fun with your new sound, and keep exploring more words that start with ‘j’!
J Sound Hunt: Go on a ‘j’ sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the ‘j’ sound, like a jar, juice, or jelly. Once you find them, gather them together and share with a friend or family member what you found. Can you think of any other ‘j’ words that you didn’t find?
J Sound Art: Create a collage using pictures from magazines or drawings of things that start with the ‘j’ sound. You can include items like a jaguar, a jigsaw puzzle, or a jam jar. Once your collage is complete, present it to the class and explain each item you included.
J Sound Storytime: With a partner, make up a short story using as many ‘j’ words as you can. For example, “Jack the jaguar jumped over a jar of jelly.” Take turns adding to the story and see how many ‘j’ words you can include. Share your story with the class and see who can come up with the most creative one!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Let’s listen and repeat the ‘j’ sound. Jacket, jacket, jacket. Jet, jet, jet.”
