Phonics Fun

My school has a fun way of teaching us phonics..My teacher asks me questions like "What do you hear first when I say 'bat'?"..and I am supposed to say 'buh' (which is the sound of the letter b and then she asks me what letter says 'buh' and I have to say B!!

So I decided to do this fun activity at home. I was looking at my picture book and picked out various pictures and after going thru a bunch of pics, asked mommy "What do you hear first when I say 'Xylophone'?". Mommy pretended she didnt know, so I informed her that I hear "Zzz" and then I proclaimed that Z makes the sound "Zzz". And then I was sooo confused..coz Xlyophone is listed under X but I hear it make the Zzz sound.

As expected, my mommy has no answers! Mona aunty maybe you have an answer?

Hi Trisha,

How about you come here and I will teach you all the tricks of english lanuguage. For now just hide xylophone picture with X-ray, because xray is the right phonetic sound you are looking for the letter "X".

Love you sweetheart,
Mona Aunty
