Pre-Phonemic Awareness Activity – Silly Mistakes!

Read a familiar poem or story . . . but make any kind of silly mistake that will be obvious to your child.

• You might replace a word with nonsense:
  “Jack and Jill went up the pickle”
• Or say the words in the wrong order:
  “The first little pig built a straw of house”
• Or even swap sounds:
  “The clock struck one, The mouse ran down,
  Dickory, Hickory, Hock”

Ask your child to catch your error! (Silly mom or dad.)
