# My Sound Hunt

Sounds hide inside words, and today you get to find them!

**Pick three words you know well. Say each word slowly. What letters make the first sound? What letters make the last sound? Draw a picture for each word, and write the letters under it ([Outcome](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/44869)).**

### Where to start:
- Say your word slowly, stretching out each sound.
- What is the very first sound you hear?
- What letter or letters make that sound?
- Is the last sound made by one letter or two letters ([Understanding](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/44876))?
- Does your word have a short vowel sound or a long vowel sound ([Skills](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/44877))?

### Stretch:
Pick one word and change just the first letter. What new word do you make? Write it down and read it out loud.
