Introduction
(3 minutes)- Display the vocabulary card or object of a car (toy car) and have the class say the word aloud with you (""car""). Then say the word again, this time emphasizing the ending sound using a movement (e.g. pumping your fist down) as you say the /r/ sound at the end.
- Repeat this time having the students repeat after you chorally and matching your movements at the ending sound.
- Explain that you just found the ending sound in the word car /r/ which is the letter R (point to the letter on a classroom alphabet chart). Tell the class that today they will practice listening for and saying the ending sounds in words.
