Welcome back to Read Not Guess. Today we’re going to work on words that end with “ing,” “ang,” “ong,” and “ung.”
Both parent and child will need to be able to see the screen.
Ok, let’s get started.
The “ing” Sound
Ask your child to say the word “sing” very slowly. It should come out as “sss-ing.” Now have them read the word as they point at the letters:
s ing
s ing
sing
Can they name any words that rhyme with “sing?” Give them a high-five or fist pound for every correct rhyme they come up with.
Now let’s see if they can read some words with the “ing” sound:
r ing
ring
And:
w ing
wing
And:
k ing
king
The “ang” Sound
Now let’s do the same thing with the word “sang.” Ask your child to say it very slowly. It should come out as “sss-ang.” Now have them read the word as they point at the letters:
s ang
s ang

Now let’s read some words with the “ang” sound:
b ang
bang
And:
h ang
hang
And:
r ang
rang
The “ong” Sound
Now let’s do the same thing with the word “song.” Ask your child to say it very slowly. It should come out as “sss-ong.” Now have them read the word as they point at the letters:
s ong
s ong

More Practice
Give your child some more practice by reading these. (Warn them to be careful. There are some tricks in here!):
sing sang sung song
bing bang big bug
run ring rang
hog hang hung hug
long lung log
If they stumble through these, have them try it again. Re-reading might sound boring to adults, but it’s good practice for kids!
That’s it for today. We’ll see you next time.
