Recording 1
Adults frequently teach young children the sounds that
letters make. For letter-sound knowledge to enhance beginning reading, it is
critical that adults model the correct pronunciation of letter-sounds. This
recording models the correct pronunciation of all consonant sounds and long and
short vowel sounds. Below are the letters, sounds, and word examples in
the order that they are presented.
