Introduction to Letter Sounds

Phonics

• You know how we use different sounds to make words when we speak?

• Phonics help us write down, understand and remember these sounds.

• Each letter, like "c", "a", and "t", has a sound that it represents. When we put all the sounds together, we can read and understand words.

Each letter on it's own has a sound. When you say the sounds of the letters instead of their names, you're saying the phonetic alphabet.
