Introduction (5 minutes)

Teacher’s Script

“Good morning, class! Today, we’re going to explore a special sound made by the letters e and e, separated by a consonant. Can anyone tell me what sound that might be? That’s right! It’s the long ‘e’ sound, like in the word ‘Pete’.

When we see the letters e_e in a word, it tells us to say the long ‘e’ sound. Let's work together and have some fun learning about this sound today!”
