Match pictures of domestic animals (goat, cat, dog) to their correct beginning letter sounds.
Name at least two other domestic animals found in their homes that begin with the letters g, c, or d.
Count the picture cards in each sound group and use words like “more”, “less”, and “same” to compare the groups, building on the earlier lesson where they tapped and clapped syllables of animal names.
