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

However, it is sometimes silent when followed by a consonant in the same syllable (as in shoul<\/span><\/strong><\/span>d or wal<\/strong><\/span><\/span>k).\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0This isn’t always the case… it isn’t silent, for example, in words like mil<\/strong><\/span><\/span>k and tol<\/strong><\/span><\/span>d<\/p>\n

This sometimes silent, sometimes not rule, makes the letter l tougher to teach than the extremely reliable letters (M, R and V).\u00c2\u00a0 In the beginning, stick to the typical “l” sound and later move to the exceptions to the rule.<\/p>\n

1. Present a capitol and lower case L to your child.\u00c2\u00a0 See if she knows the name of the letter and the sound it makes.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Give examples of L words, such as letter, lollipop and library.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Reinforce the sound by singing \u00e2\u20ac\u0153La La La\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to your favorite tune.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Read <\/span>Lyle, Lyle Crocodile<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Go on a scavenger hunt around the house to find items that start with L for the L bag this week.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Look for lion, lemon, ladybug, ladder, lock, leaf, lettuce, lizard, lunchbox, etc<\/span><\/p>\n

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

5. Lip stick painted L\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Provide a cut out L, taped to wax paper for easy cleanup and some inexpensive lipsticks.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Have your child cover the entire L.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Glue to a sheet of paper, and then cover with clear contact paper (lipstick smudges easily), and place in alphabet book.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Provide a worksheet with a line of L\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s to trace across the top and a blank spot below, Lion pattern, yellow, orange and black construction paper, 2 inch pieces of black yarn, markers, googly eyes or small round stickers, glue sticks. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Other activities: Sing Mary had a little Lamb, Make Lunch together, make lemonade or lemon muffins, lick lollipops, talk about the things you love, do a love collage, play with legos, create designs from lines<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
