📚 New Concept

All your letter sounds:

  • s = /s/ (snake), a = /a/ (ant), t = /t/ (tap)
  • i = /i/ (ink), p = /p/ (pop), n = /n/ (nose)
  • c = /k/ (cat), k = /k/ (kit), e = /e/ (egg)
  • h = /h/ (hat), r = /r/ (run), m = /m/ (mum)
  • d = /d/ (dog), g = /g/ (got), o = /o/ (on)
  • u = /u/ (up), l = /l/ (leg), f = /f/ (fan)
  • b = /b/ (bat)

cat, dog, sun, red, big, fun, hot, map, leg, cup, pin, bat, hen, rug, lip, hit, not, dim, ram, fog
