Materials and Prep

Before the lesson, be prepared to explain the sound of the letter "L" and think of some fun words that start with "L" to share with the student.

Activities

• Letter L Sound Game:

  Make the sound of the letter "L" and encourage the student to repeat it. Then, take turns saying words that start with "L," like "lion," "lemon," and "lamp." This helps them hear the sound in different words.
