Hello, little friends! Today, we are going to have fun learning a new sound. It’s the ‘u’ sound. Are you ready? Let’s go!
The ‘u’ sound is like when you say “up.” Can you say “up” with me? Up, up, up! Great job!
Now, let’s think of some words that have the ‘u’ sound. How about “umbrella”? Can you say “umbrella”? Umbrella, umbrella, umbrella! Wonderful!
Let’s practice some more! Can you think of other words that have the ‘u’ sound? Maybe “under” or “ugly.” Try saying them out loud: under, ugly. You’re doing amazing!
Here’s a fun activity: Look around your house or classroom and find things that start with the ‘u’ sound. Maybe you can find an umbrella or something else. Share what you find with your friends or family!
Remember, the more you practice, the better you’ll get at recognizing the ‘u’ sound. Keep listening for it in words and have fun learning!
Great job today, everyone! You’re all superstars at learning new sounds!
Sound Hunt Adventure: Go on a ‘u’ sound hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects that have the ‘u’ sound in their name. For example, look for a “cup” or “puzzle.” Once you find them, say the word out loud and emphasize the ‘u’ sound. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member and see if they can find more!
Story Time with ‘U’: Create a short story using as many ‘u’ sound words as you can. Start with a sentence like “Once upon a time, an umbrella went up under the sun.” Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your classmates or family. How many ‘u’ sound words can you include?
U Sound Song: Make up a simple song or rhyme using words with the ‘u’ sound. You can use a familiar tune like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and replace the words with ‘u’ sound words. For example, “Umbrella, umbrella, up in the sky, under the sun, you fly so high.” Sing your song to your friends or family and encourage them to join in!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Hi kids, let’s learn the ‘u’ sound. Up, up, up, up, up, up, umbrella, umbrella, umbrella, up, umbrella.”
