Vocabulary Cards: EL Support Lesson: How Does It End?

Display the vocabulary card or object of a car (toy car) and have the class say the word aloud with you (""car""). Then say the word again, this time emphasizing the ending sound using a movement (e.g. pumping your fist down) as you say the /r/ sound at the end.
Repeat this time having the students repeat after you chorally and matching your movements at the ending sound.
Explain that you just found the ending sound in the word car /r/ which is the letter R (point to the letter on a classroom alphabet chart). Tell the class that today they will practice listening for and saying the ending sounds in words.
