Garden Blends: Gr and Gl
Learning letter sounds in the garden Gr sounds like in 'green' Gl sounds like in 'gloves'
What is a Blend?
Two letters that work together They make one special sound We hear both letters Like 'gr' in green and 'gl' in gloves
The 'Gr' Sound
'Gr' sounds like 'grrr' We hear the 'g' and the 'r' Put your tongue ready for 'g' Then roll into 'r' sound
Let's Practice 'Gr'!
Say 'gr' like a friendly lion Green, grass, grow, grapes Point to green things around us Make the 'gr' sound together
Green Things in the Garden
Grass grows on the ground Green leaves on plants Green vegetables like lettuce Grapes growing on vines
The 'Gl' Sound
'Gl' sounds like 'glll' We hear the 'g' and the 'l' Start with 'g' at the back Then move tongue for 'l' sound
Let's Practice 'Gl'!
Say 'gl' like something shiny Gloves, glass, glow, glad Pretend to put on gloves Make things 'glow' with our hands
