What’s Included in This Educational Pack:

Instructions for Parents & Teachers:
- The "Duh" Sound: Practice the hard 'D' sound (as in Dog). Show your child how the tongue touches the roof of the mouth behind the teeth.
- The Big Belly vs. The Back: Help your child remember that Big D has a big belly, while Small d has its "belly" in the back (unlike small b), helping to avoid common letter reversals.
