Millie & Biscuit

Silent L: The Lemonade Stand

Welcome to the Lemonade Stand, where Zoe and Mia are cutting lemons in half! They draw lemons on the board with chalk and talk to everyone who walks by.

Remember: In half, calf, walk, talk and chalk, the l is silent: you write it, but you only hear the sounds around it. Could, would and should have a silent l too: “Mia cuts a lemon in half.”

Magic trick: Walk, talk and chalk are a team: they all end with the letters a, l and k, and the l always stays quiet. Could, would and should are another team, all ending with o, u, l and d.

Seek and Find

Look carefully at the picture of the Lemonade Stand and find:

  • 🍋 Find the 6 lemon halves on the cutting board. Each one is half a lemon, and half has a silent l.
  • 🖍️ Find the 3 sticks of chalk. Chalk has a silent l, too.
  • 🐱 Millie and her kitten Biscuit are hiding in every picture. Can you spot them?
