Practical exercise
Sound walk, ten letters around the house
You will walk through one room of your home and turn it into a reading lesson. The room is already full of objects whose names begin with sounds you know. Today you will catch ten of them, write them down in both languages, and read your own list back to a parent or older sibling.
