Today, we are going to have fun with the letter ‘T’! Let’s learn how to make the ‘T’ sound together.
Can you say “t”? It’s the sound you hear at the start of words like “tent” and “tiger.” Let’s try it together: “t, t, t!” Great job!
Let’s think of some fun words that start with the ‘T’ sound:
A tent is like a little house made of fabric. People use it when they go camping. Can you say “tent”? Listen to the ‘T’ sound at the beginning: “t, t, tent!”
A tiger is a big, strong cat with stripes. It lives in the jungle. Can you say “tiger”? Hear the ‘T’ sound at the start: “t, t, tiger!”
Let’s practice saying the ‘T’ sound with some more words:
Can you say these words with me? Listen for the ‘T’ sound at the beginning!
Let’s play a game! Look around your room and find things that start with the ‘T’ sound. Maybe you’ll find a toy or a towel. What else can you find?
You did an amazing job learning the ‘T’ sound today! Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a ‘T’ sound expert!
Sound Hunt: Go on a ‘T’ sound treasure hunt around your home or classroom. Find three items that start with the ‘T’ sound. Once you find them, share them with a friend or family member and say the ‘T’ sound together. Can you think of a story using all the items you found?
Art with ‘T’: Create a collage using pictures of things that start with the ‘T’ sound. You can cut out pictures from magazines or draw your own. As you add each picture, say the word out loud and emphasize the ‘T’ sound. Display your collage and teach someone else the ‘T’ words you found!
‘T’ Sound Storytime: With a grown-up’s help, read a short story or a picture book. Listen carefully and clap your hands every time you hear a word that starts with the ‘T’ sound. After the story, try to remember and list all the ‘T’ words you heard. Can you make up your own short story using some of these words?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Let’s listen and repeat the ‘t’ sound: tent, tiger.”
