Note: I introduce both uppercase and lowercase letter formation in these videos, which is a stray from the CKLA curriculum. With shorter school days and fewer in-person days each week during the pandemic, I needed to squeeze in as much learning as I could.

How to use this video:
-If you are a classroom teacher, you could show this video to your students as an introduction to the sound. Then, follow it up with hands-on activities that practice the sound, such as a scavenger hunt through the classroom or a sound picture sort.
-If you are teaching online, you could show it during a synchronous lesson or asynchronously.
-You could assign students to watch it by posting a link on Seesaw or a similar app.
-If you are a homeschool teacher, you could show it to your children as a supplement to the curriculum you're using to teach phonemic awareness.
-These videos could also be sent to students over the summer to reduce the effects of "summer slide" as they head to the next grade level.
