Tips for Teaching Letter H Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Feel It<\/strong><\/strong>

    When saying the H sound, a small puff of air is released from your mouth. To help your child understand this, hold their hand up in front of your mouth as you make the H sound. Then have your child hold their hand up in front of their own mouth as they make the sound. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. See It<\/strong><\/strong>

      Hold up a mirror in front of your child\u2019s face as they make the letter H sound. Because air is released from their mouth as they say the sound, they should see the mirror fog up a bit as they say it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Practice It<\/strong><\/strong>

        As you and your child go about your day, point out the letter H sound in the words you say, whether you\u2019re reading a book or simply pointing to objects in your home.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
