Talking Points
- Letters are like special friends that make different sounds. When we put them together, they make words. Let's learn their sounds together!
- "A says 'ahh', like in apple. B says 'buh', like in ball. C says 'kuh', like in cat. Let's practice saying these sounds together."
- When we see a letter, we can think of words that start with that letter. Can you think of a word that starts with the letter 'S'?
- It's like a secret code! Each letter has its own sound. When we put letters together, they make new sounds and words. Let's try it out!
- Remember, learning letter sounds is like solving a puzzle. It might be tricky at first, but with practice, we'll become experts!
