Phonemic Awareness:
This week we will focus on ending sounds. They are also called final sounds. Phonemic awareness means the sounds that letters make and it is an important part of learning to spell!
(Parent note: Please read the following words to your child and tell them to replace the final sound with the sound between the // marks. Those marks mean the sound a letter makes, not it's name. If you want to challenge your child, you can say the letter name and have them make the replacement sound and then replacement word. This is harder than it seems!)
