Phonemic AwarenessMaterials: Picture cards, phonemic awareness worksheet Say the word nap and emphasize the /n/ sound: /nnn/ /ap/. Have students listen for the

/n/ sound at the beginning of the word as you repeat it. Then have them say the word.

Tell students you are going to say some words. Some of the words begin with /n/ and other words do not. Tell them they should stamp their feet whenever they hear the /n/ sound at the beginning of a word. Say the following words one at a time, allowing time for student response: no, nice, mother, cat, not, book, new, never, pig, nose.

Say the word pan and ask students what sound they hear at the end. Tell them that they can sometimes hear the /n/ sound at the end of words. Say the following words one at a time, and have students raise their hand whenever they hear /n/ at the end of a word: fan, car, pin, line, bat, said, man, rain, drip, bean, bun.

Mix up the picture cards and place them in a pocket chart or along the chalkboard ledge. Name each picture with students: barn, cane, hen, sun, nest, nose, nut, needle. Have students help you group the pictures according to those that start with /n/ and those that end with /n/.

Give students the phonemic awareness worksheet for extra practice.

Introduce the Sound/Symbol Relationship for Nn /n/Materials: Sound/symbol card Show students the sound/symbol card for Nn. Read the word net and point out that the

letter Nn stands for the /n/ sound in net. Have students listen for the /n/ sound as they read the word with you.

Have a volunteer come up and point to the letter in the word net that stands for the /n/ sound.

If you have students in the class whose names begin with Nn, write these names on the board. If not, have students think of names that start with Nn and write their suggestions on the board. Read the names together and then have volunteers come up and circle the letter in each name that stand for the /n/ sound.
