    Welcome to Toddler phonics. I'm so happy you're here!

    Baby Wordplay (00:15)
    Let's say hello to our next guest.
    /f/ As in, fa.
    as in family.
    as in fly.
    Let me hear you say.
    Tuck your bottom lip inside your mouth and put your top teeth over it and say
    Fly, fly, fly, we're flying to the sky.
    Can you say that?
    Yes. Fly, fly, fly. We're flying to the sky. If you'd like to fly with me, get your wings and we will see. Fly, fly, fly. We're flying very high. Let's do that again.

    Baby Wordplay (03:04)
    as in finger.
    As in flutter.
    as in feelings.
    Let's say these words together.
    Fingers!
    Fly!
    Flutter!

    Fee, Fi, Foe, Thumb.
    Say that with me. We're practicing the F sound. Fee, Fi, Foe, Thumb.
    Fee, fi, foe, thumb. Here are my fingers. Show me all your fingers. Here's my thumb. Now show me just your thumb.
    Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum.
    Goodbye, fingers. Make your hand into a fist.
    Goodbye, Thumb. Well done.

    Baby Wordplay (04:38)
    Listen for the words that begin with the sound.
    Baby Wordplay (04:46)
    I have feelings so do you. Let's all sing about a few. We get happy. We get sad. We get scared. We get mad. I am proud of being me.

    That's a feeling too, you see. I have feelings, so do you. We just sang about a few. Let's do that again. I have feelings, so do you. Let's all sing about a few.

    We get happy. We get sad. We get scared. We get mad. I am proud of being me. That's a feeling too, you see. I have feelings, so do you. We just sang about a few.
