Emphasize the first sound by stretching it: "Sssss-un starts with /s/." This helps your child isolate and hear individual sounds.
After practicing on paper, go on a sound hunt around the house. Find objects that start with the target letter sound.
Focus on one letter sound per session. Practice it with multiple words before moving to the next sound.
Play "I Spy" with beginning sounds: "I spy something that starts with /b/." This makes phonics practice feel like play.
