Letter E / Evan's Door sound
Today we introduced our Letter E / Evan's Door sound. The sound is the short vowel "e" sound (eh). When we introduce vowels to the children, we always focus first on the short vowel sound. The long vowels will come later in the school year.
This sound is a little trickier for some children, they have a tendency to mix it up with the short vowel "a" sound. We have a little story about Evan's Door that we like to tell to help solidify the sound in their minds. The basic idea is that at some point in the story a little boy named Evan opens a door and it makes a creepy/spooky "eh" sound. If you really want to hear it, you'll have to ask one of the teachers to do it for you (we will just love that). :)
We also read a fun story about Edwina, a dinosaur who didn't know she was extinct.
