U
Have your child name the picture (cub) .
Now have them slowly say each sound in the word. They should point at one box at a time as they say
each sound.
Now have them do the same thing, but ask them to stop when they get to the /u/ sound. When they
say /u/ they should freeze. Repeat this with each sound until they can stop at the correct sound position
that you name. Ask: What is the first sound? Middle sound? Last sound?
Now have them say cub one more time. Ask them what mystery word would they make if they changed
the short /u/ sound to a long /u/ sound? They can point to the boxes as they say the sounds.
