📚 New Concept

Your sound skills:

1. Beginning sounds: You can hear the first sound in any word. The beginning sound of school is /s/.

2. Ending sounds: You can hear the last sound in any word. The ending sound of drum is /m/.

3. Rhyming: You know words that sound the same at the end. Cat and hat rhyme.

4. Making rhymes: You can create new rhyming words. From -op: hop, mop, top, pop.

5. Syllables: You can break words into parts and count them. Banana = ba-na-na = 3 syllables.

6. Blending: You can put syllables together. Hos-pi-tal = hospital.

7. Odd One Out: You can find which word does not match.

These skills are the foundation of reading. You are getting ready to become a reader!
