Liz Quezada: I am going to say two syllables. You're going to repeat the syllables and then we're going to grab 'em and make the word. Are you ready? ta-, -ble

Students and Liz Quezada: ta-, -ble .... "table."

Liz Quezada: Ready. star-, -tle

Students: star-, -tle ... "startle"

Liz Quezada: tum-, -ble

Students and Liz Quezada: tum-, -ble ... "tumble."

Liz Quezada: gar-, -gle

Students: gar-, -gle ... "gargle."

Liz Quezada: Do you know what gargle is? When you make water stay in your throat. Remember when I taught you the /g/ sound? We go: /g/ /g/ /g/? That's kind of like a gargle.

Last word, no-, -ble.

Students: no-, -ble ... "noble."

Liz Quezada: Very good.
