Chicken — starts with L

Teaching L to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. Tongue up behind your teeth, a light l. Ask for one more word that starts with L — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.

In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace L, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
