What sounds do you hear in the word BEAR? Practice listening for sounds while reading and using those sounds to write other words. You'll also choose fun projects or games to show what you've learned.
Good readers look at the beginning sounds in words to help them read the words correctly.

In this lesson, we will take a close look at the beginning sounds in words using a favorite picture book.
To get started, you will review some sounds.
Print the Beginning Consonants Chart found in the Downloadable Resources in the right-hand sidebar.
The top of the chart shows the letters you are going to work on in this lesson:
B says /b/ like in bat.
Your turn. Say B /b/.
H says /h/ like in hat.
Your turn. Say H /h/.
M says /m/ like in mat.
Your turn. Say M /m/.
R says /r/ like in rat.
Your turn. Say R /r/.
S says /s/like in sat.
Your turn. Say S /s/.
Now that you have practiced the sounds of each letter, you will think of words that begin with each letter sound.
Each column in the chart has an example. Look at the B.
Write down the word you thought of that begins with the B sound.
Work with someone if you need help and write at least two words in each column that begins with each sound.
Keep this chart handy because you will use it again in the Go! section.
