Letter Sounds A to Z

Before a child can read, they need to hear the sounds inside words and know which letter stands for each sound. This free starter course builds both skills step by step. Short, playful lessons cover listening for sounds, rhyming, first sounds, and every letter from A to Z, with a practice game and a quick quiz each time.

What you will learn

• How to listen for the separate sounds inside spoken words
• How to hear and make rhymes
• The most common sound for every consonant
• The short sound of each vowel: a, e, i, o and u
• How to tell a letter’s name from its sound

Who this course is for

• Children in pre-K and kindergarten who are starting to read
• Parents who want a clear, gentle way to teach letter sounds at home
• Older children who mix up letter sounds and need a quick refresher

Every lesson includes a short explanation with examples, a practice activity to do together, a tip for grown-ups and a quiz, and your reader earns a certificate when they finish.
