Welcome to Letter Sounds! – Discover special sounds – Meet letters f, l, m, n, r, s – Each letter has a unique sound – ‘f’ as in ‘fish’, ‘l’ as in ‘leaf’, ‘m’ as in ‘moon’, ‘n’ as in ‘net’, ‘r’ as in ‘ring’, ‘s’ as in ‘sun’ – Match sounds to letters – We’ll play a game to match sounds to these letters | This slide introduces Pre-k students to the consonant sounds of the letters f, l, m, n, r, s. Emphasize each letter and its sound clearly, using common words they are likely to know. For example, ‘f’ is the first sound in ‘fish’. After going through each letter, engage the students with a matching game where they hear a sound and choose the correct letter. Activities could include: 1) Sound Bingo with these letters, 2) Matching objects to the starting letter, 3) ‘I Spy’ with items starting with these sounds, 4) Letter sound fishing game with paper fish having letters on them. These activities will reinforce their understanding and make the learning process interactive and fun.

Meet the Letter F – The ‘fff’ sound of F – Like in ‘fish’, ‘fan’, ‘frog’ – Practice saying ‘fff’ – Everyone, let’s say ‘fff’ together! – Find objects with ‘fff’ – Look around for ‘fff’ items – Share your ‘fff’ objects – Tell us what you found! | This slide introduces the consonant sound ‘f’ associated with the letter F.

Finally, create an interactive session where each child can share the name of an object they thought of or found that starts with the ‘fff’ sound. This activity helps in reinforcing the sound association and in building their phonemic awareness.

Encourage the children to say the letter out loud to reinforce the association. Possible activities include matching sounds to letters with physical cards, interactive whiteboard games, or drawing items that start with each consonant. The goal is to create a fun and engaging way for students to practice letter-sound associations.

Divide the class into small groups and instruct them to find objects around the room that start with these sounds. Encourage teamwork and ensure each child participates. After the hunt, gather the students and have each group present their findings, reinforcing the letter-sound associations. Possible variations of the activity could include a timed challenge, drawing items instead of finding them, or using magazines to cut out pictures of items that start with the given sounds.
