Welcome to our family vocabulary lesson! Today we will learn eight important family words. Let's start with mom, dad, sister, and brother. These are the core members of a typical family unit.
Now let's learn about extended family members. Grandma and grandpa are our grandparents. A baby is the youngest family member. The word family refers to all these people together as one group.
Now let's practice sentence patterns. When we want to ask about someone, we say 'Who is this?' The answer is 'This is my' plus the family member. We can also ask 'Is he or she your' plus family member. The answer is 'Yes, he is' or 'No, she isn't'.
Now let's practice pronunciation. The M sound is made by closing your lips together, like in mom. The B sound is made by pressing your lips together and releasing, like in baby and brother. The F sound is made by touching your top teeth to your bottom lip, like in family and father.
Here's our complete family tree! We have grandma and grandpa at the top, then mom and dad in the middle, and sister, brother, and baby at the bottom. Practice pointing to each person and saying 'Who is this? This is my' plus the family member. Remember to use the correct pronunciation for each word.
