Lesson 3: The Three Little Pigs (Ear Training)
Instructions: The instructor reads an excerpt from Treadwell Reader's story, 'The Three Little Pigs.' The instructor pronounces the dashed words phonetically and asks children to call out the words.
Once upon a time there were three little p-i-g-s.
One morning the mother said, "You must go out and make your living."
So they all set out.
The first little pig met a m-a-n with some straw.
He said, "Please give me some straw, I want to build a house."
The m-a-n gave the little pig some straw.
Then the little p-i-g made a house.
Soon an old wolf came along.
He knocked at the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come i-n."
The little pig said, "N-o, no, by the hair of my chinny, chin, chin. I won't let you in."
The wolf said, "Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house i-n."
So he huffed and he puffed, and he blew the house in.
Then he ate up the little p-i-g.
