Phonics Adventure: Letters S, A, and T! ☀️🍎⛺
Welcome to our Connect Plus phonics adventure! Today we discover three foundational alphabet letters: Letter S, Letter A, and Letter T! Letter S makes the gentle hissing sound /s/ like a little snake: /s/, /s/, Sun and Star! Letter A makes the short vowel sound /æ/: /æ/, /æ/, Apple and Ant! Letter T makes the sharp tapping sound /t/: /t/, /t/, Tree, Tent, and Table! When we put these three sounds together, we can blend our very first English words: /s/ - /æ/ - /t/ makes «sat»! The boy sat on the chair! Phonics gives us the superpower to read words. Let's practice saying, tracing, and blending S, A, and T together today!
