For example: Have students work in pairs to come up with other words using the consonants m, s, t, f, and d. The words must contain the consonant sound at the beginning, middle, or end. In pairs, one student comes up with words, and the other identifies where he or she hears it (beginning, middle, or end). Then they switch roles.
