Common Mistakes to Watch For:
- Letter reversals: b/d, p/q, n/u — remind students to check the direction of the "stick" and "ball"
- Vowel confusion: Short vowels (a, e, i, o, u) sound different — practise saying each sound clearly
- Rhyming vs. same beginning sound: Rhyming words have the same ending sounds, not beginning sounds
- 'x' sound: Remember 'x' at the end of words makes two sounds: /k/ + /s/ = /ks/
