Your child can tell you the sound for every letter in sat… but still get stuck when it’s time to read the word. 😩
That’s because hearing or saying the sounds is one skill. Blending them into a word is another.
Try this together:
1️⃣ Begin with at. Say each sound, then slide them together: “aaat.”
2️⃣ Add s. Stretch the sounds without stopping between them: “sssaaat.”
3️⃣ Shorten it until your child says “sat” naturally.
Then try sit and listen for whether they can blend it without hearing you do it first. That’s the progress you’re looking for. 🙌
💜Save this for your next five minutes of reading practice
🩵Tell me: does your child get stuck between the sounds or guess the word at the end? 👇
