Hi there, friends! Today, we are going to have some fun learning about the letter ‘R’ and the sound it makes. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
The letter ‘R’ makes a special sound. Can you say “rrrr”? Great job! Now, let’s think of some words that start with the ‘R’ sound.
Have you ever seen a rabbit? Rabbits are cute and fluffy animals that like to hop around. Can you say “rabbit”? Listen to the ‘R’ sound at the beginning: “rrrrabbit.” Let’s say it together: rabbit, rabbit, rabbit!
Do you know what a ring is? It’s a shiny circle that you can wear on your finger. Can you say “ring”? Listen to the ‘R’ sound at the start: “rrrring.” Let’s say it together: ring, ring, ring!
Now that you know the ‘R’ sound, let’s practice some more. Can you think of other words that start with ‘R’? How about “red,” “rain,” or “rocket”? Try saying them and listen for the ‘R’ sound!
Learning new sounds is so much fun! Keep listening for the ‘R’ sound in words you hear every day. You’ll become an ‘R’ sound expert in no time!
Thanks for learning with me today. See you next time for more fun with letters and sounds!
R Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the ‘R’ sound. Can you find a rug, a ruler, or a red crayon? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member and practice saying the ‘R’ sound together.
R Sound Art: Create an art project using things that start with the ‘R’ sound. You could draw a picture of a rabbit, make a paper ring, or paint a rainbow. As you create, say the ‘R’ words out loud and listen for the ‘R’ sound. Display your artwork and explain to others what you made and why it starts with ‘R’.
Story Time with ‘R’: Make up a short story using as many ‘R’ words as you can. You might start with “Once upon a time, there was a rabbit who found a ring…” Share your story with a friend or family member. How many ‘R’ words did you use? Can you think of more to add?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
