OBJECTIVE: Use proper eye-movement skills (transfer skills) left to right, top to bottom and return sweep.
“P” and “B” sounds Why should we study these sounds together? We should study these sounds together because …. -both are produced in the front of the mouth, …and the tongue is in the same place.
But, there is one big difference!
So, what is the difference? The “B” Sound is voiced . The “P” sound is unvoiced .
Voiced sounds The vocal cords vibrate when you say voiced sounds. You can hear a voiced B sound in words such as "back" and "cab."
Unvoiced sounds When making unvoiced sounds , the vocal cords do not vibrate. Instead, we use a puff of air to produce the sound. You can hear the P sound in words such as "pack" and "cap."
Let’s practice the voiced sounds! Say the following words with a piece of paper in front of your mouth.
Voiced b sounds ca b b ought tu b b ug b ag b ud b ottle b rown b ook b oy b lack b id What happened to the paper?
Again, say the following words with a piece of paper in front of your mouth. Let’s practice the unvoiced sounds!
Unvoiced P sounds p ie p lay p u p p ick p o p li p p ot p light ca p p oor u p p ut What happened to the paper?
Now let’s practice side by side! ca b / P ie b ought/ p ick tu b / p ot b ug / p o p b ag / p oor b ud / p lay b ottle / p o p b rown / p light b ook / u p b oy / p u p b lack / ca p b id / p ut

Proper eye-movements ( left to right, top to bottom, and return sweep) when you read the sets of words. The words in each row have the same beginning letter sounds: p ig p et p at p en p an b ad b et b it b in b uild w olf w ay w ait w ord w ant
Phonological Awareness These words in each row have the same ending letter sounds: pi g di g lo g ta g mu g ba d be d we d no d li d ca t ma t do t pe t pa t
