Frankie is our latest Star Name. With his name we got to practice two letters that were new to us as a class: f and k. We also learned to write one of the most challenging letters in the D'Nealian alphabet...the lower-case k!
One of the things we noticed right away about Frankie's name was that he has one of the same sounds as our last Star Name Cameron. Frankie has 'k' in the middle of his name which makes the same sound as 'c' at the start of Cameron. This helped us to think again about how letters can sometimes sound the same as each other and how one letter can even make two different sounds depending on the word it is in.
