The Letters "Q" and "U" Kindergarten Wedding - Two Letters Make One Sound
A magical wedding celebration occurred in the Kindergarten pod on Friday, December 8th!
The letters "Q" and "U" were united as two letters making one sound. Students are taught that the letters βQβ and βUβ are used as a digraph (a pair of letters representing a single speech sound) or a βblendβ for the sound /kw/.
The creativity of our Kindergarten teachers is sure to help students remember to combine these two letters into one sound when reading and writing!
