Sounds

Choo choo train- ch goes “choo, choo” as the train goes along the tracks.

Shooting hose – sh goes “sh,sh,sh” as the water shoots out of the hose.

Wet sneakers – the sneakers go “th,th,th” as they squish in the puddles.

*At this point we are no longer using pictures to teach the sound patterns.

ng is a glued pattern. Glued patterns are difficult to hear. (sing) When

teaching glued patterns use actions. For example to teach the word

sing stress the misquito buzzing aroung (n,n,n) and the person

drinking from a cup (g,g,g). The visuals will allow your child th SEE

the pattern even though they can hardly hear the n.

Do the same with nk. (the nasty misquito going “n,n,n” and the cricket going

“k,k,k.”)

oe, ow, oa all say the long o sound. (doe, flow, float)

wh says h. the w is silent. (when)

o trick: when a word has a w like will, if you put your hand to

your mouth you won’t feel any air coming out when you say

the word. Likewise, if you have a word such as whine and you

put your hand to your mouth as you will feel the air coming out.
