Listen: /m/. Now you say it. /m/ 3 • Write or display the Letter Card for the next sound in the word and repeat the procedure. Listen: /ă/. Now you say it. /ă/ 4 • Sweep your hand below the letters, and blend the sounds. • Have children blend the sounds with you. Blend the two sounds together. Listen: /m/ /ă/. Now you say it. /m/ /ă/ 5 • Repeat the process for the remaining sounds, one at a time. Listen: /t/. Now you say it. /t/ 6 • Model reading the entire word.
