Talking Points

• Letters make sounds. When we put sounds together, we can read words.

"Let's say the sound of the letter 'S'. Sssss like snake!"

• Each letter has its own special sound, like 'A' says 'ahh' and 'B' says 'buh'.

"Can you make the sound of the letter 'M'? Mmmmm like in 'Monkey'!"

• When we see letters in a word, we can try to sound them out to read the word.

"Let's sound out the word 'Cat'. C-A-T. Cat! Great job!"
