 Say Hello Like This

(scroll down for more activities & information)


The emphasis in this lesson is on producing the /s/ sound at the end of words.  The sound is made with the tongue behind the teeth, slightly touching the roof of the mouth. A common way to elicit this sound is to tell your child to smile, bite, then blow. ​ 
This sound  is often added to the ends of words to indicate plural, such "spots" and "maps".

​Here are some easy activities for practicing this sound at home or while you're traveling around during the day:

1. Doing laundry is a good activity for practicing plural /s/.  Count and sort socks, shirts and shorts.  How many do you have in different colors?  How many in different sizes?  Who has the most of each kind of clothing?

​2. Describe houses that you see in your neighborhood. For example, "That's a big house", "That's a tiny house",  "That house has bricks.".

3.Some more online and printable activities are below. ​




 Line-up cheer: Teacher- Hocus pocus!  Kids- Time to focus!
