The letter H is a dependable letter.\u00c2\u00a0 It usually makes the “huh” sound as in h<\/span><\/span><\/strong>at.\u00c2\u00a0 This is especially the case when the letter H is not partnered with another consonant<\/p>\n

However, it is sometimes silent (as in gh<\/span><\/strong><\/span>ost or h<\/span><\/strong><\/span>our).\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is also part of a number of digraphs:\u00c2\u00a0 sh<\/span><\/span><\/strong>e,\u00c2\u00a0 th<\/span><\/strong><\/span>e,\u00c2\u00a0 ph<\/span><\/span><\/strong>onics,\u00c2\u00a0 ch<\/span><\/span><\/strong>icken,\u00c2\u00a0 wh<\/span><\/span><\/strong>en<\/p>\n

This variety makes the letter h tougher to teach than the extremely reliable letters (M, R and V).\u00c2\u00a0 In the beginning, stick to the typical “h” sound and later move to the exceptions to the rule.<\/p>\n

1. Present capital and lower case H to your child.\u00c2\u00a0 Talk about the sound that it makes and give examples of words that start with H, such as horse, hay, hello and hamburger.<\/p>\n

2. Read A House for Hermit Crab<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Create an H bag for the week.\u00c2\u00a0 Go on a scavenger hunt with your child, looking for words that start with H, such as house, heart, hat, hoop, horse, hammer, helicopter, horn, etc<\/p>\n

4. Create an H collage.\u00c2\u00a0 Have your child search through magazines for\u00c2\u00a0H words, and glue them to paper for her alphabet book.<\/p>\n

5. Hearty H’s.\u00c2\u00a0 Provide a cut out H and a number of small hearts cut from assorted papers (or use heart stickers) to your child.\u00c2\u00a0 Have her glue the hearts to the letter H.\u00c2\u00a0 encourage her to overlap them, creating a collage effect.\u00c2\u00a0 Glue the H to a piece of paper and place in her alphabet book.<\/p>\n

6. Provide a worksheet with H\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to trace across the top and a blank spot below, geometric shapes (that will fit in the blank space) for building a house, such as a triangle, square, etc, a glue stick and markers.\u00c2\u00a0 Have your child glue the shapes to the paper, creating a house and encourage her to add details with markers.<\/p>\n

7. Other activities: Bake and decorate heart shaped cookies, cut out sandwiches into heart shapes at lunch, play music and gallop like horses, talk about houses and why we need them, make silly hats<\/p>\n
