๐ดโ๏ธ Mustang Minute is back! โ๏ธ๐ด
This week, our Mustangs are practicing identifying medial sounds in words! ๐
The medial sound is the middle sound you hear in a word.
Try these examples together:
๐ฑ cat โ middle sound is /a/
๐ท pig โ middle sound is /i/
๐ bus โ middle sound is /u/
๐ฆ fox โ middle sound is /o/
You can practice anywhere by saying simple words and asking:
๐ โWhat sound do you hear in the middle?โ
Medial sounds can be tricky, but practicing them helps children become stronger readers and spellers! ๐๐
Watch todayโs Mustang Minute video and have fun listening for those middle sounds together!
๐ดโ๏ธ Itโs time for another Mustang Minute! โ๏ธ๐ด
This week, our Mustangs are practicing deleting final syllables from words! ๐
This means saying a word, taking away the last syllable, and listening to what word is left.
Try these examples together:
๐ rainbow without โbowโ = rain
๐ง cupcake without โcakeโ = cup
๐ ladybug without โbugโ = lady
๐ป sunflower without โflowerโ = sun
You can practice during everyday activities by saying compound words and asking your child what remains when the last part is taken away. ๐ก๐๐
Playing with word parts helps children strengthen important reading and phonics skills! ๐๐
Be sure to watch todayโs Mustang Minute video and practice deleting syllables together!
