Let us speak

A. Say aloud.

This is a green crayon.

The word green begins with ‘gr’.

The word crayon begins with ‘cr’.

Now say these words aloud:

gr	green	grey	grass	grapes	Grandmother
cr	crayon	crab	crane	crow	cradle
dr	draw	drum	dress	drop	dragon
pr	prince	princess	prize	pray	present

Form a sentence using each of these words and say it aloud.

B. Have fun!

Here is a fun task for you! Look at the words.

Read out the COLOUR but not the words.

For example:

The word ‘yellow’ is written in green colour, so you should read YELLOW as GREEN instead of YELLOW for the first word.

YELLOW	BLUE	ORANGE
BLACK	RED	GREEN
PURPLE	YELLOW	RED
BLUE	ORANGE	BLACK
