Have students write b on one side of a piece of paper and d on the other. Say words beginning with b or d and have students raise the correct letter. Possible words include ball , baby , bed , bounce ; dad , dog , desk , and day . Amplify Have pairs race against time in a friendly competition. Have one student write b , s , t , f , or d on the board and set a timer for thirty seconds. Then, have the classmate list words with that sound. The sound may be in the beginning, middle, or end of the word. Have students take turns to see how many words they can list. Finally, have classmates tally the words from their lists. Check students’ lists to ensure their words are correct English words. Instructional Routine p. Txxiii Consonants: b, s, t, f, d • Activate prior knowledge Write letters b , s , t , f , and d on the board. Ask : Do you have one of the letters in your name? Write students’ answers on the board, or have volunteers write their names. • Teaching tip Tell students that letters make sounds. Say : Today we are going to learn the letters that make the sounds /b/, /s/, /t/, /f/, and /d/. Have students repeat the sounds after you, one by one. Language transfer The sounds /b/, /s/, /t/, and /f/ are shared between English and many languages. Students will bring their knowledge of these sounds from their home language into their English studies. • Speakers of Arabic may substitute /sh/ for /s/. • Vietnamese speakers may need extra practice with /t/, as the sound in Vietnamese is similar but not exactly the same. • Speakers of Mandarin may have difficulty hearing or producing the /d/ sound. 1 Recognize initial sounds Pause after each word for students to point to the correct letter.
