The letter “f ” and the letter “v”sound a lot l ike each other.

fan

The d ifference is that you’rejust b lowing a ir when you makethe letter “f ” sound – “fffff . ” No sound from your throat , just a ir. Think of a fan b lowing a ir.

f(Have the ch i ld put the ir handin front of the ir mouth to fee lthe a ir b lowing .)

But when you make the letter“v” sound, you ARE makinga sound in your throat , sortof l ike the eng ine (motor) in a van .

v

Have the ch i ld put the ir hand on the ir throat to fee l the sound (v ibrat ion) in the ir throat .

In th is book , we wi l l be read ingtwo words to pract ice the d ifference:
