Bite your bottom lip and hum to feel the buzz of /v/.
How to use it
- Model each letter in the air, then on the board, saying the strokes out loud.
- Let kids trace with a finger before a pencil.
- Send it home with a note asking families to listen to their child read the words.
Watch for
b, d, p and q mix-ups. Teach “bat before ball” for b: the line comes first.
Talk about it
- Whose name in our class starts with this sound?
- How did you figure out that word?
