BEGINNING SOUNDS OF SOUNDS LETTERS FLIP FOR PHONICS™ ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 3 - SOUNDS OF LETTERS (continued) Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Sounds of Letters activity introduces your child to sounds of letters. Your child will recognize that all the letters make a certain sound. They will learn that some letters can even make two sounds or more. There are no specific instructions telling your child which button to press. This free exploration is very inviting and should encourage your child to take risks by pressing buttons that may be unfamiliar to him or her. ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Turn the card to the index, Sounds of Letters. 2. Slide the activity selector to the third position as shown. You will hear a short tune followed by "Press a button" and a fun sound effect. 3. Press a letter button to hear the sound(s) of each letter. For example, when you press the letter 'Bb' button, you will hear "The letter B says buh." 4. Press the repeat button to hear the instruction and a sound effect. 5. When the help button is pressed, the learning toy will say, "Press a button" and then the learning toy will play a sound effect. How Can You Help? • Encourage your child to say the letter sounds along with the learning toy. Your child could practice by saying, "The name of the letter is B, the sound of the letter is buh." • This skill takes lots and lots of practice. Remember to remain positive and praise your child when he or she can tell you the sound of a given letter. • In everyday situations, have your child tell you what letter a certain object begins with. Repeat the word slowly for your child by really stressing the beginning letter. Have your child tell you what sound that letter makes. ACTIVITY 4 - BEGINNING SOUNDS Beginning Sounds This activity helps your child identify the beginning sounds of words. The learning toy will identify the beginning sound of a word followed by that word. Your child will need to rely on his or her knowledge of letters and their sounds in order to complete this activity. Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Beginning Sounds activity is designed to help your child identify the beginning sounds of words. Your child will increase his or her decoding skills by using this activity. Your child will be able to apply the knowledge he or she has gained from learning the 26 letters of the alphabet and their sounds. 5
