Hello and welcome to Little Learners. In this video I'm going to show you the
letter sounds in a alphabetical order but if you'd like to see them in the Jolly
Phonics taught order then you can click on the link in the description box below to
see that video. I also just want to put a bit of a disclaimer here to let you
know that the actions for each sound are often quite strange but they always link
in with the song or the story so just go with me on this.
So with that in mind let's take a look at the first 26 letter sounds and their
corresponding actions. /a/. For this sound we pretend that there are ants on our arm.
ah - ah - ah - ah - ah ah - ah -ah
/b/
For this we hit our ball with our bat. /b/ /b/ /b/. now this I long to see
/ck/
Now this sound obviously belongs to two different letters: C and K, and they do have their own individual
songs, but they both have the same action, which is pretending to play castanets
/ck/ /ck/ /ck/ /ck/ /ck/ /ck/ /ck/
/d/
For this we get our imaginary d-d-drums. /d/ /d/ /d/ /d/ /d/ /d/.
/e/. For this sound we
pretend we are breaking an egg into a pan. /e/ /e/ /e/ e/.
/f/. For this sound we pretend that
there is an inflatable floating fish that has got a puncture in it and the air is
starting to escape. I would love to have coffee with whoever came up with these.
We put our hands like this and make the sound.
fffffff ffffffff
/g/. For this we imagine that we are hearing water g-g-gurgle down the drain.
/g/ /g/ /g/ /g/
/h/. For this sound raise your hand and say
the sound on to your hand so that you can feel your breath on your palm.
/h/ /h/ /h/
/i/. For this sound we pretend we are a mouse
wiping i-ink off of our whiskers. It goes with the song and story, trust me.
/i/ /i/ /i/ /i/
/j/. By far my favourite action and definitely the most popular in each
class that I've had so far. We stretch out our arms and we become jelly.
/j/ /j/ /j/ /j/
/l/. Never 'luh'. /l/. For this we lick our lollipop. /l/ /l/ /l/ /l/.
/m/. Never 'muh'.
/m/. So this sound is pretty simple, we just pretend that we are about to eat
a really tasty meal. Put your hand on your stomach and say 'mmmmm'.
/n/. For this sound we said we
pretend we are an airplane making a very noisy 'nnnn' sound, like this:
nnnnnn nnnnnnnn
For any of you out there planning on being primary school teachers, just remember that you do have
to make a fool out of yourself every single day. Yeah. Anyway back to
business. /o/. This sound is pretty simple, we just
turn the light on and off. /o/ /o/ /o/ /o/ /o /o/.
/p/. For this sound we pretend we are
blowing out a candle on a pink pig cake. Try sating that 10 times fast.
pink pig cake pink pig cake (inaudible) Pink? So we put our finger in front of our mouths as if it is a candle
we puff out the candle. /p/ /p/. You should be able to feel your breath on your finger.
/p/ /p/ /p/
/qu/. This sound takes Q and U to make /qu/. For this we pretend we're a duck
quacking. /qu/ /qu/ /qu/
/r/. For this sound we pretend that we are a
puppy ripping in a rag. 'rrrrrrrr'. Yeah, remember that thing I said about making
a fool of yourself? I was not kidding!
/s/. For this sound we make our arm a snake
going through the grass. 'ssssss' 'sssss' 'ssssss'.
/t/. For this sound we pretend we're watching a
tennis game, like so: /t/ /t/ /t/ /t/ /t/
And remember: /t/ not 'tuh'.
/u/. For this we put up our umbrellas. 'uh' 'uh' 'uh' 'uh'.
/v/. For this sound we get into a
van and drive it. 'vvvvvvvv'. that sound tickles every time.
/w/. For this we pretend that
we are blowing the wind over our hands. /w/ /w/ /w/ /w/.
/x/. Now of course this is a
sound that we really only ever hear in the middle or end of words. We pretend we're
taking an x-ray with a special x-ray camera. 'ks' 'ks' 'ks' 'ks'.
/y/. For this we get our yogurt
and we eat it. /y/ /y/ /y/ /y/.
/z/. For this we pretend we are buzzy bees and put out our wings like so:
'zzzzzzz' 'zzzzzzz' 'zzzzzzz'
