“The Beginning Sounds Chant” Youtube song link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxr7078NMqo
Materials
- Device to play youtube song
- Sound Picture Strips
- OPTIONAL: ABC (magnets) letters OR individually written out on paper
Activity (Procedure):
-Start by listening to the youtube song
- Look through picture strips together. Say what each picture is. Put extra emphasis on that first letter sound when you say the word. For example: SUN you would say: “SsssSun” or BALL you would say “BbbbbBall.”
- After you say it a few times, ask your child “What does sun start with?” wait for the “Sssss” sound. “What does ball start with?” wait for the “bbb” sound.
-Review as many images as you can both stand while following these steps.
- If you can, include an example of the written/magnetic letter that pairs with the sound. For example the “S” for sun. Show your child the correlating letter and say “S makes the sound ssss.”
Activity Wrap Up:
Give your child a “quiz!” Point to a random picture(s), ask your child to say the name of the picture, and then to tell you the sound that word starts with?
How do I know what my child is learning? (Assessment)
- Is my child able to identify the beginning sound of words?
- Does my child know what letter makes that sound?
- How many words did you get through before your child was over the activity?
How can you extend this activity? (Modifications)
Show your child individual letters and ask them what sound that letter makes.
Helpful Hints: (Pitfalls & Solutions)
Confidence is so important for success when it comes to learning. If your child cannot tell you the beginning sound of words, no worries, this isn’t easy! Tell them! Make sure there is a relaxed, no pressure environment. Go back to the images they struggled with a few times and make a big deal when they get it without any help.
