I am creating an ABC power point on different sounds. So far I have a sound for all the letters except I N Q U

Question

If anyone has any suggestions, please send them on. Thanks

Like for A, I have alarm, B-Bell, C-Crunch, D-Doorbell, E-Explosion, etc. We have an assignment to create a power point book using each letter from the alphabet (in early childhood education program in college). It has to be based on a standard, so I thought I'd do it on the sense of hearing. I cannot think of ones for I, N, Q, U, and now O. Don't like the one I have. Thanks all.

I need sounds we hear in everyday life, like telephone ringing, raining, door slamming, that kind of stuff. Still need the same as before.

Sound Effects.
Alarm starts with A, you can hear an alarm, Bell starts with B, you can hear a bell...I need things we can hear. Here is what I have so far...maybe it will clear up any confusion...Alarm,Bell,Crunch,Drip,Explosion,Fireworks,Giggle,Heartbeat,Jet,Knock,Laugh,Music Box, Popping, Rain, Slam,Telephone ringing,Vacuum,Whistle,Xylophone,Yawn, and Zipper zipping. I still need I, N, O,Q, and U

Answer 1

For the "short" sound of "i" I used to tell the kids a story about little pigs in a pen who all made the sound "ih".

For the "short" sound of "u" I told a stoy about a baby who wanted to be picked up, and he held his arms up and said "uh".

For "q" I used the sound of the wind making strange sounds in a storm.

"N" is a tough one. How about the sound someone would make if something is hurting?

You may be able to think of a similar story if these won't work for you,

I hope these help and that you get more suggestions.

Answer 2

i - itch or igloo
n - nose, nut
q - queen, quilt
u - up (arrow pointing up)

I made a sound sheet for my low reading group of first graders. It had each letter with a sound picture. We recited it daily and it worked really well. Once the kids have a sound/picture associated with the picture, they have a better chance of learning the sound of the letter.

Ok--I just read the addition to your question.

I'm not sure about the i but the n could be a long nnnnnnnnnn sound before a child yells NO! Q could be associated with the quack of a duck and the u could be the uh, uh, uh before the choo when someone sneezes.

Answer 3

What do you mean you have a sound for all the letters except I N Q U.

Do you mean short or long vowel sounds? Do you want a word or a machine or animal that makes the sound the letter represents? Many letters have more than one sound. I really cannot tell what you are talking about.

Q does not have a sound of its own. Q either sounds like K, as in clique, or like KW, as in quick.

Answer 4

Okay, I'm not exactly sure how to answer this but here it goes

I - ??
N - ??
O - Ouch, Owl sound,
Q - Quack,
U - Uh-oh sound (every child would be familar with this sound)

Answer 5

Inner ear
Noisy Nodosaurus (this is a dinosaur) says, "No, no, no!"
Quivering Quail
Ukulele Under an Umbrella

Answer 6

More explanation would help. Sounds how so? Like you need words that start with that sound, have sounds in them or an actual file that sounds like that?
