@mr..smarty.mouse: 🐭🧀 Your child might be missing the LAST piece of the reading puzzle! 🧩🔤 When kids are learning to sound out words, they sometimes forget or skip the final sound. Here’s a simple phonics trick to try tonight! 👇 ✏️ Write three short words: caP • suN • beD 🔴 Have your child find and circle the LAST letter. 👂 Ask: “What sound do you hear at the end?” 🗣️ Then have them say all the sounds from beginning to end and blend them into the whole word. 💡 Why does this help? Paying attention to ending sounds helps children notice every sound in a word, improving their phonemic awareness and decoding accuracy. ✨ Just 3 words. A few minutes. One small step toward becoming a stronger reader! 📌 SAVE THIS for your next reading session! 🐭 Follow @mrsmartymouse for simple, science-backed reading tips without the jargon! 💛 #MrSmartyMouse #PhonicsTips #ScienceOfReading #ParentTips #PhonemicAwareness
