Slide a finger under a word to blend its sounds together. It helps a child blend sounds and say whole words.
Say: Touch each dot as we say the sounds slowly. Now slide and say the whole word.
Watch for: Help your child listen to each sound instead of guessing from the picture.
Stop when: Stop after about five good tries, or sooner if your child gets frustrated.
Make it easier: Say the sounds together first, then let your child try alone. Turn on the picture cue.
Make it harder: Hide the picture, speed up the slide a little, or use a longer word from My Words.
A quick check so little hands don\'t change settings.
