  3. She then takes one card, places it in front of the child and invites the child to sound out the letters.
  4. Encourage the child to sound the letters a bit quicker, blending them.
  5. Directress assists the child by blending the first card.
  6. Ask the child 'What does it sound like?'.
  7. The child will respond and then invite the child to place the word card below the respective object.
  8. Repeat for all the word cards, assisting a child when needed.
