Welcome to Letter Sounds! – Today’s sound playtime – Learn c, g, h, w sounds – ‘c’ as in cat, ‘g’ as in go, ‘h’ as in hat, ‘w’ as in win – Become a Sound Detective – Fun with phonics – We’ll match sounds to letters with games | This slide is designed to introduce Kindergarten students to the consonant sounds of the letters c, g, h, and w. Start the class with enthusiasm about playing with sounds, which will set a fun tone for learning. Explain each sound clearly by articulating the sound and associating it with a common word that starts with the letter. For example, ‘c’ is for ‘cat’, ‘g’ is for ‘go’, ‘h’ is for ‘hat’, and ‘w’ is for ‘win’. Engage the students by asking them to become ‘Sound Detectives’ and find items or pictures that start with these sounds. Incorporate phonics games where children match sounds to the correct letters, reinforcing their understanding through play. The goal is to make the learning process interactive and enjoyable, helping students to remember the sounds associated with each letter.

The Sound of ‘c’: Learning Consonant Sounds – ‘c’ sounds like ‘k’ in ‘cat’ – Practice saying the ‘c’ sound together Repeat after me: ‘c’ as in ‘cat’, ‘cup’, ‘cake’ – Identify objects starting with ‘c’ Look around, what do you see that starts with the ‘c’ sound? – Draw or bring an item that starts with ‘c’ Use your creativity at home to find or draw something with ‘c’ | This slide is aimed at helping Kindergarten students recognize and practice the ‘c’ sound, which is similar to the sound ‘k’. Start by pronouncing the sound clearly and ask the students to repeat after you. Use common words that they are likely to know, such as ‘cat’, to illustrate the sound. Engage the class by asking them to find objects in the classroom that start with the ‘c’ sound. For a more interactive experience, encourage them to draw or bring an item from home that starts with the ‘c’ sound for the next class. This activity will help reinforce the letter-sound association in a fun and memorable way.

The Sound of ‘g’: Exploring Consonant Sounds – ‘g’ sounds like ‘g’ in ‘goat’ – Practice saying the ‘g’ sound – Let’s say ‘g’ together: ‘g-g-goat’ – Find words starting with ‘g’ – Think of words like ‘gum’, ‘gate’, ‘girl’ – Listen for the ‘g’ sound in words – Can you hear ‘g’ in ‘big’, ‘dog’, ‘leg’? | This slide is aimed at helping Kindergarten students recognize and practice the ‘g’ sound. Start by demonstrating the ‘g’ sound using the word ‘goat’ and then have the class repeat it together. Encourage the students to think of other words that start with the ‘g’ sound, such as ‘gum’, ‘gate’, and ‘girl’. Also, help them identify the ‘g’ sound in the middle or end of words. This will reinforce their understanding of the sound ‘g’ makes in different contexts. Make the activity interactive by asking students to come up with their own examples and share them with the class.

The Sound of ‘h’: Learning Letter Sounds – ‘h’ sounds like ‘huh’ in ‘hat’ – Let’s all say the ‘h’ sound together – Take a deep breath and say ‘huh’ – Find words with the ‘h’ sound – Think of words like ‘hen’, ‘hot’, ‘hill’ – Practice makes perfect with ‘h’ | This slide is designed to help Kindergarten students recognize and practice the ‘h’ sound. Start by demonstrating the sound of ‘h’ as in ‘hat’. Encourage the children to take a deep breath and repeat the sound after you. Ask the students to think of other words that start with the ‘h’ sound and share them with the class. Provide examples like ‘hen’, ‘hot’, and ‘hill’ to help them get started. Emphasize the importance of practice and repetition in mastering the ‘h’ sound. For an activity, you could have students draw items that start with ‘h’, or go on a classroom ‘h’ hunt for objects that begin with the sound.

The Sound of ‘w’: Learning Consonant Sounds – ‘w’ sounds like ‘whale’ – Practice making the ‘w’ sound – Let’s say ‘wuh-wuh-wuh’ together – Identify words with ‘w’ – Think of words that start with the ‘w’ sound – Share words starting with ‘w’ – Can you name some ‘w’ words? | This slide is aimed at helping Kindergarten students recognize and practice the ‘w’ sound, as in ‘whale’. Start by demonstrating the sound yourself and then invite the class to repeat it after you. Encourage the children to actively participate by thinking of and saying words that start with the ‘w’ sound. Make it interactive by going around the class and asking each student to contribute a word. This activity will help reinforce their understanding of the letter-sound association for ‘w’. Prepare a list of ‘w’ words to prompt students if they are struggling, such as ‘wind’, ‘wet’, ‘wiggle’, and ‘wagon’.

Matching Sounds to Letters Game – Listen to the consonant sound – Choose the correct letter – Is it ‘c’, ‘g’, ‘h’, or ‘w’ for the sound /k/? – Ready for a fun sound game? – Let’s match sounds to letters! – We’ll practice with sounds like /c/, /g/, /h/, and /w/. | This slide introduces a playful activity to help Kindergarten students associate consonant sounds with their corresponding letters. Start by making a consonant sound and ask the students to choose the letter that matches it. For example, make the /k/ sound and see if they can identify the letter ‘c’ or ‘k’. This interactive game should be conducted with enthusiasm to engage the children. You can use props or flashcards for visual aid. Be prepared to offer guidance and celebrate correct matches to reinforce learning. The goal is to make learning letter-sound associations an enjoyable experience.

Sound Bingo: Match the Consonant! – Let’s play Sound Bingo together! – Listen for the first sound in each word – Words like ‘cat’, ‘hat’, ‘go’, ‘win’ – what’s the sound? – Find the matching letter on your bingo card – ‘c’ for ‘cat’, ‘h’ for ‘hat’, ‘g’ for ‘go’, ‘w’ for ‘win’ – Mark the letter when you hear its sound | This interactive class activity is designed to help Kindergarten students recognize and match consonant sounds to their corresponding letters. Prepare bingo cards with a variety of letters including ‘c’, ‘g’, ‘h’, and ‘w’. As you say words aloud, students will listen for the initial consonant sound and mark the corresponding letter on their bingo cards. For example, if the teacher says ‘cat’, students should listen for the ‘c’ sound and mark it. This activity reinforces letter-sound associations in a fun and engaging way. Have a set of words ready for each letter and ensure that students understand the rules of bingo. Celebrate when a student gets a ‘bingo’ to encourage participation.

Sound Detectives: Mission Accomplished! – Celebrate being Sound Detectives – Review sounds of c, g, h, w – ‘c’ as in cat, ‘g’ as in go, ‘h’ as in hat, ‘w’ as in win – Listen for sounds in daily life – Keep practicing your sound skills | Congratulations to the class for their hard work in learning the consonant sounds of c, g, h, and w. Reinforce the sounds by repeating them and giving familiar examples like ‘c’ for cat. Encourage the children to keep listening for these sounds in words they hear at home, in school, and during their favorite stories. Remind them that practice is key to becoming expert Sound Detectives. For the next class, consider preparing a listening game where they identify objects or pictures based on the consonant sounds they’ve learned.
