This month we are working on the "j" sound or the Jingle Bell sound. This sound is made the same as the "ch" sound, but the "j" is voiced. To make this sound, put your teeth together and pull the corners of your lips to the middle to make a pucker. The tip of your tongue should rise to the top of your moth behind your front teeth as air passes through your mouth to make "j". The visual sign for the "j" sound is made by putting your thumb at one corner of your mouth with your fingers at the other and then drawing them together to say the "j" sound.
To practice using the "j" sound in words and phrases, we are going to be singing Jingle Bells and reading and talking about Gingerbread Men.
To work on "j" at home. You can sing Jingle Bells. You can also read the story The Gingerbread Man. You can also move by "jumping" and "jogging" and say "jump" and "jog" with each movement.
