He should then say the word one more time.
Adult: I’m going to say a word, and I want you to tell me which special sound you hear in that word. Get ready: shoe. Say that. Child: Shoe. Adult: That’s right. What special sound do you hear? Listen: shoe. Child: /sh/ Adult: Yes. What motion do we do for that sound? Child: [Makes “shh” gesture] /sh/ Adult: Now point to the sound card and say the word. Child: [Points to /sh/ card] Shoe. Adult: Good job! Let’s try another word. Listen: fang.Go through the words on the word list in random order. Give him a point for each correct answer.
