First Sound Fluency is Essential!

First sound fluency is a skill that is essential to master in kindergarten. Please practice these games at home to ensure that your child will be successful!
*Pick any word and say it slowly, have your child tell you the first sound. For example, “cat”, the first sound is “c”.
*Use a magazine or book to find pictures and have your child name what they can find in the picture. Then have them tell you the first sound of that word.
*Say a family members name, then have your child repeat the name and state the first sound.
*Once your child masters this first sound, move onto the ending sound. It is important to say the word slowly so they can hear all the words. Have them practice saying words slowly as well. This helps with spelling, writing, and reading skills!
