Tips for Teaching Letter W Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Make Wind<\/strong>

    When helping your child position their mouth to make the letter W sound, tell them to pucker their lips and push them out slightly, as if they were blowing bubbles or making wind with their mouths. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Use Letter Sound Correspondence <\/strong><\/strong>

      Letter sound correspondence refers to the idea that each letter of the alphabet refers to a certain sound or sounds. As you work on a new letter, make sure your child can see the letter as you discuss its sound(s). Practice new letters and letter sounds for several days and review them frequently.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Keep Working on It<\/strong><\/strong>

        As your child learns the letter W sound, keep practicing it with them until they can confidently produce the sound. Take breaks if they feel frustrated, but avoid moving on to other letter sounds until each sound is mastered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
