More about letter u

We are focusing on listening to the middle sound of the word for this lesson.
Write some 3 letter words on a white board.  Say the word very slowly without showing it to your child.  See if they can hear the middle sounds.
Give them a strip of paper with all the clowns printed on it.  spaced out 1 inch between each.
Give them a clothespin.  They put the clothes pin on the clown that they hear.
When they have decided which clown they hear, show them the written word.
