31. WORKCARDS FOR ENDING SOUNDS

MATERIAL:

1. Workcards, each about four by eight inches, with a phonetic picture on each one. The letters for the words are outlined on each card, except for the ending letter - which is indicated by a blank line. There should be six or seven cards in a set.

2. A container of loose letters, just sufficient to build the words for all the cards in the set.

3. Tray or basket.

4. Table or rug.

DESCRIPTION:

The child lays out workcards from left to right along the upper edge of the rug. Random the loose letters on the rug. See the object of first workcards, read it aloud and exaggerating the ending sound (ex. hat), say to the child: "Hat ends with "t", the sound of "t" is missing here. Point out the blank in the word, ask the child to find sound "t" and place it on the blank.

Repeat the same procedure to other workcards until he has finished all workcards, go over to the first one and read then aloud. Ask the child return the work properly when he has finished.
