Take it to the streets! Sidewalk chalk and fun times!

My son has a fascination with sounding out words.

I decided to take it to the streets. The backyard that is.

He's learning -AT- (short sound)

I try to keep it simple and fun.

We take the first few letters of the alphabet to see the
words we can come up with by adding to the letters -AT-

For fun, I will put the new words in a sentence.

A-no
B-Bat (Where is my baseball bat?)
C-Cat (The cat likes to meow.)
D-no (Look at dat over there!) NO? ok. moving on.
E-no (It's time to EAT dinner!) yes, this is true but, we're working on the short sound of the -AT- I didn't want to confuse him. We'll come back to that later.
F-Fat (My daddy loves to grill fat juicy steaks on the grill)
G-no (Where's my GAT? I need to go and handle some business.) NO? ok. moving on.
