Letter Sounds A to M

Sounds for letters A to M

Letters make sounds. When we put sounds together, we can read! Let's learn the sounds from A to M.

Say each sound

Say the sound. Then say the word:

• a — "a" like Ant 🐜
• b — "b" like Ball ⚽
• c — "c" like Cat 🐱
• d — "d" like Dog 🐶
• e — "e" like Egg 🥚
• f — "f" like Fish 🐟
• g — "g" like Goat 🐐
• h — "h" like Hat 🎩
• i — "i" like Igloo 🧊
• j — "j" like Jam 🍓
• k — "k" like Key 🔑
• l — "l" like Lion 🦁
• m — "m" like Moon 🌙

Blend sounds to read

This is the magic part! Push the sounds together.

Try this word:

c … a … t

Say it fast: cat! 🐱 You read a word!

Now try more:

• m + a + t = mat 🧶
• d + a + d = dad 👨
• h + a + m = ham 🍖

Slow at first. Then fast. You can do it!

Tap, tap, blend

Tap one finger for each sound. c (tap), a (tap), t (tap). Then slide them all together: cat! This helps your brain read.

Now play!

Flip the Sound cards A to M above to hear each sound. Then play Build the word and tap the letters to spell cat, mat, dad and ham.
