Today we are going to use this picture to help us change a sound in a word to make new words. The directions tell us to find the flag blowing in the wind. I see that blow begins with /b/ /l/ and ends with the vowel sound /o/. I want
to change the word blow to glow. To do this I will change /b/ /l/ to /g/ /l/ and keep the vowel sound /o/.

•The Statue of Liberty was made in France, taken apart, and then rebuilt in America. A statue is a figure of stone, metal, wood, or clay that is made to look like a person or animal.
•The small statue on the shelf is made from wood.
Phonemic Awareness
This week we read about the State of Liberty. This statue is of a woman wearing a crown. Listen as I say the sounds in crown. Now I will change the first sound in crown to /f/ to make a new word, frown. We’re going to make new words by changing a sound at the beginning of a word.
I will say a word, and you will change the sound at the beginning of the word to /b/ to make a new word.
