Help Cade crunch on snacks

  • Assemble the Cade puppet using a paper sack and the graphic.
  • Show the puppet to the children and explain that Cade wants to crunch on snacks that start with the /k/ sound.
  • Write the letter C on the board and explain that the letter C sometimes makes the /k/ sound.
  • Place the picture cards in a can, invite the children to take turns choosing a picture from the can, then read the word together.
  • Help the children decide whether the word on each picture card begins with the letter C.
    • If the word begins with the letter C, have the child circle the C while saying the /k/ sound before "feeding" it to Cade.
    • If the word doesn’t begin with C, have the child place it in a discard pile.
  • Explain that the snacks the children fed to Cade start with the /k/ sound, then let the children eat some of the same snacks (optional).

More Practice
Identify words with the target sound in a text

  • Read the Crunch Cookies and Candy target text to the children.
  • Have the children find and circle the letter C throughout the text, saying the /k/ sound each time do so.
  • Read the text again and have the children make a C with their fingers every time they hear a word that starts with the /k/ sound.
