weed a wild unwanted invasive plant or it can mean to remove plants
and we’d we had the contraction

So let’s give these words a try.

Three little sounds today – easy breezy!

Start with that w sound – puckered lips.

Move to that long e – smile and that tongue is nice and high and flat: e.

And then touch the tip of your tongue to the back of your top front teeth for that d sound. D Let it pop down, let the air puff out, all while your voice box is on. In fact your voice is on for this whole word
