Camel — starts with G

Teaching G to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. The back of your tongue touches the roof of your mouth. Ask for one more word that starts with G — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.

In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace G, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
