Simple Words: Cat, Dog, Sun and More
๐ฏ Learning objectives
After this article, you should be able to:
- Read simple three-letter words
- Match words to pictures
- Blend letter sounds into words
Once you know your letter sounds, you can build your very first words. Three letters. Three sounds. One picture. Let's go!
Word: CAT ๐ฑ
Say the sounds one by one, then squeeze them together:
cโฆ aโฆ tโฆ โ cat!
Word: DOG ๐ถ
dโฆ oโฆ gโฆ โ dog!
Word: SUN โ๏ธ
sโฆ uโฆ nโฆ โ sun!
Sound blending
Blending means running the sounds together smoothly, like a toy train joining its carriages: c-a-t becomes "cat", not "cuh-ah-tuh". Try it with these:
- b + a + t = bat ๐ฆ
- h + e + n = hen ๐
- f + r + o + g = frog ๐ธ
Play: picture or word?
Look at the picture and say the word, then check the letters. Picture first, letters second โ that is the EduManual way!
Practise all of these words with sound in the word studio, and play the word matching game when you are ready.
