How to teach “please”
Clap please as one beat and point out the pl blend at the start. The ea says a long e, and the s at the end sounds like a z. Make a “please” jar: every time someone says it, your child adds a button. When it is full, read a book together as a treat.
Sentences with “please”

Game: Please, Mr Crocodile

Practise next
