When it comes to the “air” sound, there are several ways to spell it. The key spellings include “air” as in fair, hair, and stair, “eir” as in heir and their, “err” as in merry and berry, and “ear” as in wear and bear. These variations can seem tricky at first, but with practice, your child will begin to recognize and use them confidently.
To make learning these spellings fun and interactive, this activity includes clip cards focusing on the “air” sound. Here’s what you’ll need: print the clip cards on card stock paper, laminate them for durability, provide a dry-erase marker, and gather some clothespins.
Here’s how to use the clip cards with your child:
- Show the Picture: Present a picture to your child and ask them to say the name of the picture. Use the cheat sheet to help identify each picture if needed.
- Clip the Correct Spelling: Have your child place a clothespin on the correct “air” spelling on the card.
- Spell the Word: Ask them to spell the word under the picture using the dry-erase marker.
This activity is fantastic for speech development, fine motor skills, and spelling practice. By repeating the words, manipulating the clothespins, and writing the words, children will enhance their fine motor development and improve their spelling skills for words with the “air” sound.
Engaging in this activity will help your child become more familiar with the different spellings of the “air” sound, improving their spelling and reading skills through practice and play. Keep encouraging them, and soon enough, they’ll master the “air” sound like a pro!
