So, you have a pack of reading and spelling cards, and what we are going to do is to review the reading cards that we have already seen. So, what I'm going to do is to say the clue word for each card that we have, and you have to say the very first sound of the clue words. So, for this class for example we have two sounds in the word orange. What is the first sound? Say it all together. ... ... >> O and if we say over the first sound is. O >> O. O. For orange. Over o. Now for the i we have also two sounds - the short one and the long one. If I say igloo. What is the first sound, altogether? >> i. >> i. And if I say iee, the first sound is iee. For a, we also have two. If I say apple, the first sound is? (Said the short sound for the letter a.) >> And if I say alien, the first sound is? >> A >> Very good. Now this one is a little tricky, we have yoyo. The first sound is? >> (Said the sound for the letter y.) >> And if I say, gym. The second sound is? You. >> Ih, ih, in Jim. >> If I say autumn, the first sound is? >> Oh. >> Oh. If I say net, the first sound of net is? >> N. The first sound of net. >> Net. ... ... >> N >> N >> Not nuh. Nuh is not a sound. It is a syllable. So the first sound is ... ... >> ... ... >> Okay? If I say 'pen'. The first sound is. >> ... ... >> ... ... P. I don't want to hear a vowel. I just want to hear the sound, p, short and crisp. >> P. >> P. Very good. >> P. >> So, we have the ... this card. If I say 'cat', the first sound is - >> K, k, k, k, k, k, k. >> K. Very good. And if I say, 'city', the first sound is - Sss. Now this one, if I say 'chips', the first sound is ch, ch. And if I say queen, the first sound is qu. Brush. What does that, the two first sound that. Br. >> Br. Br. ... ... If I say clock, it is? Cl. Cl. >> Cl. Cl. >> Okay. ... ... ... That was great, children. We're going to do it once again. Okay? So, you understood the principle? I say the clue word, and then you say the first sound. I want to hear a pure sound. Short and crisp. Not with a vowel afterwards. Let's start again. Autumn. Net. N I want to hear the sound and not the name of the letter. Pen >> p. >> ... ... if I say 'cat'. >> ... ... >> and city. >> ... ... >> ... ... that's why we have two sounds for the letter c. If I say chips. >> ... ... >> ... ... and, we going to see afterwards later on that there is another sound for 'ch'. ... ... ... ... If I say queen. Quuh. If I say brush. Brrr. If I say clock. cl Now, watch how there are two sounds for the letter O. The short one and the long one. Like in orange it is. >> ... ... >> O, O. The short one. And in over it is. Oh. Excellent. Table. T, t. If I say igloo. i. And ivy. I. >> i, i, i >> Very good. Now, with A, we have two sounds again, the short one and the long one. Apple is? >> A. >> A. And Alien is? >> AY Yoyo? >> Yu >> And Gym? In the middle you have i. Excellent. And we are done with our reading cards.
