Instructions:
First model how to use this activity to your scholar(s). Start with a card and show that they should
say what the image is, be sure you explain that it will be a three-letter word and it will have the conosonant-vowel-consonant pattern.
 
Break down each phoneme using your fingers. For example if the word is 'dog' you would say:
/d/ : show thumb
/o/ : show pointer finger
/g/ : show middle finger
 
Three fingers should be up, and you should close your fist when saying the word /dog/.
