It’s fun to make new sounds
And make new words each day
It’s fun to make new sounds
And make new words each day
Take the letter c – that makes the sound c
Take the letter h – that makes the sound h
Put them together to make a new sound – ch, ch, ch
Like in cheer, chomp, cheeseburger
Now take the letter w – that makes the sound w
Take the letter h – that makes the sound h
Put them together to make a new sound – wh, wh, wh
Like in whistle, wheel, whisper
Repeat Chorus
Take the letter s – that makes the sound s
Take the letter h – that makes the sound h
Put them together to make a new sound – sh, sh, sh
Like in shake, shine, shoe
Take the letter t – that makes the sound t
Take the letter h – that makes the sound h
Put them together to make a new sound – th, th, th
Like in think, three, thunder
Repeat Chorus
