Presentation
- Invite the child to join you in this excise.
- Ask the child to bring the mat to the floor and unroll it as you bring the sand paper letters to the mat.
- Take out two consonants and one vowel. In this sample, we use m, a, t.
- Place the /m/ on the mat.
- Ask the child to please tell you the sound.
- Place the /a/ on the mat about 12 inches to the right of the /m/.
- Ask the child to please tell you the sound.
- Move the /a/ next to the /m/.
- Ask the child to say both sounds.
- If the child struggles or hesitates, you can prompt “m..a…” as you say the sounds together slowly and clearly.
- Now move the /t/ next to the /a/.
- Tell the child “Now, we have “m..a…t…mat” as you sound out the word with the child.
- If the child is eager to learn more, introduce /s/ and /f/.
- When you are finished, you and the child can put the letters back into the box.
