Make it easier by increasing the amount of support and modeling you give to your child.聽Write the letter聽鈥淗h鈥�鈥�at the top of the paper and ask your child to say the sound that聽鈥淗h鈥濃�痬akes. After you write the funny sentence, you might say:聽

Add some challenge by asking your child to draw another picture of something that begins with the same sound as the picture you drew.聽For example, your child might draw a picture of a basketball鈥痟oop to go alongside the picture of the鈥痟and you drew.鈥�
