Using a target sound in a small phrase 
Description:
These activities focus on using a sound in a word and putting this word into a small phrase, e.g. - target word = 'sun', phrase = 'a hot sun'. A phrase is a short sentence with 2-3 words.
Your target sound may be at the beginning of the word, e.g. 's' in 'sun', or in the middle of a word, e.g. 's' in 'glasses', or at the end of a word, e.g. 's' in 'horse'.
