Albert's Impossible Toothache

In Class:
This week in class we are reading Albert's Impossible Toothache!

We talked about the initial /t/ sound and practiced lots of words with this sound.

We talked about toothaches and other aches- tummy aches, head aches, toe aches, etc. If your child says someone bit their toe, its because of this silly book :)

Home Activity:
Print off the following pages. Cut out the words and help your child decide the things that are "good" for our teeth (edible) or "bad" for our teeth (not edible). Place them accordingly on the paper under the good or bad section. As you place each word, practice it 5 times for lots of good initial /t/ word practice!

Cows Can't Fly Activity

Activity 1: Make a paper bag cow- glue the head to one side and tail to the other so that it can stand up. Cut out all the words on the next two pages. Practice saying each word with your child with their good /k, g/ and /t, d/ sounds at the beginning of the word. If you say the first sound at the front of your mouth (/t, d/) then put the word in front of the cow. If you say the first sound at the back of your mouth (/k, g/) then put the word in back of the cow. If this is too difficult, just have them say the word with their good sound and put it in the bag.

Activity 2: Print the last two pages (the cow, and the tails and words). Glue a word to the back of each tail, and have your child color the cards. To play, hide the tails all over the room. When your child finds one, have them say the word on the back, and then stick the tail on the cow! You can blindfold to make it more silly :)
