4. Initial Sound Identification
Now we will play a listening game. I want you to tell me the beginning sound of each word. For example, in the word "pot", the first sound is "/p/". I will say each word two times. Listen to the word then tell me the very first sound in that word.
Sasa, tutacheza mchezo wa kusikiliza. Ningetaka uniambie sauti ya kwanza katika kila neno. Kwa mfano katika neno "pot", sauti ya kwanza ni "/p/". Nitalitaja kila neno mara mbili. Sikiliza kwa makini kisha uniambie sauti ya kwanza katika neno hilo. Let's practice. The word mouse begins with what sound? "Mouse? Hebu tufanye pamoja. Je, sauti ya kwanza katika neno Mouse ni gani? "Mouse"? If the child responds correctly, say:
Very good, the first sound in "mouse" is /m/
Vyema sana, sauti ya kwanza ya neno "Mouse" ni /m/.
If the child does not respond correctly, say: Listen again: "mouse". The first sound in "mouse" is /m/. Sikiliza tena: "mouse". Sauti ya kwanza katika neno "mouse" ni /m/.
Now let's try another one: The word "day" begins with what sound? "Day" Sasa, hebu tutajaribu tukitumia neno lingine. Sauti ya kwanza ya neno "day" ni gani? "day"
If the child responds correctly, say: Very good, the first sound in "day" is /d/ Vizuri sana, sauti ya kwanza ya neno "day" ni /d/ If the child does not respond correctly, say: Listen again: "day". The first sound in "day" is /d/. Sikiliza tena: "day". Sauti ya kwanza katika neno "day" ni /d/.
