Overview
The children will make noodle necklaces as they practice saying the /n/ sound in words such as notebook, nice, and noodle.

Literacy Activities
Make a noodle necklace

• Punch holes and the top of each picture and letter card.
• Review the pictures with the children, pointing to the beginning letter of each word and emphasizing the /n/ sound (e.g., /n/, /n/, nuts).
• Give each child string, noodles, pictures cards, and letter cards.
• Have the children string the items on their necklace, and encourage the children to say the name of each picture as they do so.
• When children have finished, help them tie their necklaces around their necks.

More Practice
Read words with the target letter

• Make a list of the pictures children have on their noodle necklaces.
• Read the list, emphasizing the /n/ sound in each word.
• Read the list again, but this time, have the children write the letter N each time they hear the /n/ sound.

Write the target letter

• Help the children write the uppercase letter N and lowercase letter n while producing the /n/ sound.
• Have the children draw a picture of an object that starts with the /n/ sound in the space underneath the letters.
