PL Sound Song

This PL sound song is one of a series of guruparents phonics songs.

The song introduces the diagraph by featuring 12 words starting with pl, including some sight words.

Kids songs are a good way for a child to start to learn to read – and this one is set to a catchy rap tune, features lots of colorful pictures and has a simple rhyming pattern. It is also a good song to introduce the pl sound for someone who is learning English.

To adults, the ‘pl’ sound blend may appear so obvious as to not need to be taught. While it is no doubt true that children able to ‘sound out’ words should have no trouble with this sound, the key is speed.

By being able to recognize the ‘pl’ letter pairing and therefore not need to sound it out, a child is reading that little bit faster than they otherwise would. And speed is vital, not least because the sooner a child learns to read at a reasonable pace, the sooner they will be able to read books purely for pleasure – one of the hallmarks of a good student!

PL Sounds Lyrics

Pl is for plate – it is so nice and white
Pl is for pliers – when you need to hold on tight

Pl is for planets – they spin around the sun
Pl is for playground – a place to have some fun

Pl is for please – it’s a nice word to say
Pl is for Pluto – such a long way away!

Pl is for play – let’s play a game for fun
Pl is for plus – what is one plus one?

Pl is for plank – it’s made out of wood
Pl is for plums – they always taste good!

Pl is for plants – I water mine each day
Pl is for plane – let’s go up, up and away!
