Block Challenge 7
The Fourth 2-Sound List
Two-Sound List 4
- Use this list for the ‘What Changed: First or Last’ challenge.
- You can pick words from this list any time you need 2-sound words.
AROUND THE WORLD IN 20 STEPS
- This list uses all 'stretchy' sounds (the easiest kind).
- Each word on the list is one sound different from the one above it.
- The child figures out which sound changed: First or Last?
- If you go through the whole list, you will end up where you began. Fun!
