Spotting and making alliteration means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.

Materials: Letter cards or sticky notes; Paper and pencil. 1. Say the goal of Spotting and making alliteration in plain words once. 2. Adult says a word slowly, taps each sound, then blends it back together. 3. Child blends or segments three words and writes or builds each one. 4. Fresh check: one fresh blend or segment. Record and stop. Done: three correct blends or segmentations with the letters matching the sounds. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.
