A new illustration pops up for every "at" word: at, cat, chat, bat, brat, drat, fat, flat, sat, scat, splat, pat, hat, rat, and bat.

"If You Can Read: at" is all about listening for the sounds inside words — rhyming, blending, or breaking words into parts (focus: at).
- What sounds, rhymes, or word parts did you hear?
- How were the sounds put together or pulled apart?
- Can you make another word that plays with those same sounds?
Quick work-a-long
Practice: sound, rhyme, word part.
Try it: Pick a short word, say each sound slowly, then blend it back together — and think of one word that rhymes with it.
