The "CH" Sound and Environmental Print

Keep those cereal, yogurt, cracker and flyer labels coming!! The children are having a lot of fun identifying the signs and symbols they easily recognize in their home, school and community. Im hoping the children can make connections with the names of these "everyday" signs and the letters used to spell them.

A great example happened today.  Melilla shared that Chapter's was a sign she can easily recognize.  I carefully repeated the word, Chapter's while really focusing on the CH part.  Without saying a word, I held up a Cheerios Cereal box label.  The children instantly recognized it and cheered, "Cheerios!!!".  Then, they got it!  They made the connection that both Chapter's and Cheerios began with the CH sound.

The conversation then snowballed into a huge list of all the words that we know that began with the CH sound!  AMAZING!  So telling about how much our Kinders have learnt this year and how their ears are easily recognizing and identifying these sounds!!!

CHECK IT OUT!!!
