Today’s free reading lesson is for Bob Books Set 1, Book 7, called “Jig and Mag.” This book is back to introducing new sounds.
When you introduce the “j” sound, pay attention to how your student is pronouncing it. You want it to be very clipped and short. You don’t want it to be drawn out and sound like “juh.” If they are vocalizing an “uh” at the end, help them shorten the sound. Work with them a bit. You are doing them a favor for the future.
For the “j” sound, I made a very, very simple card to put in the binder. I figured we’d add more words as we went along.
