If your child can identify the letters of the alphabet and state their corresponding sounds, you can then play with rhyming words. When you child has a good grasp of rhyming and can give you a rhyming word for any words you give them, your child is ready to play with words in a new way.
***The new game involves segmenting words or breaking words into pieces. With this exercise, you are segmenting the beginning sound from the remainder of the word.
For example, my word begins with b (say the b sound) and it ends with -ug when we put it together we have b-ug...bug.
If your child doesn't get it at first, don't worry, just keep trying stressing the beginning sound first then the word ending.
Word families are great for this exercise. More examples include:
c and at ...cat
f and an...fan
b and all...ball
b and ed...bed
s and it...sit
p and in...pin
