When you discover the letter sound that your child is frustrated with, find a book or poem that has a lot of that particular sound found in it. For example, if your student is having hard time with the M sound, you might read the book 'Many Marvelous Monsters', or 'Piggies in the Pumpkin Patch' if they struggle with the P sound.
Once you have found the story, buy a bag of candy corn, or other Halloween treat. Then get a cup or glass. As you read the story, the student is to listen for that particular letter sound. Every time they hear the letter sound in the story, they put a candy corn in the cup.
When my students are struggling with the letter s sound, I use the song/poem 'Spooky Scary Skeletons'. They love it because it goes with the Halloween theme and they hear the s sound so much. They get to put so many candy corns in their cups!
It is fun at the end to see how many times you heard the particular letter sound in your book or poem. Make sure to read it slowly so that your student has enough time to put their candy in the cup. Most importantly, enjoy the candy!
