Sound and word clips use a synthesized English model. Accents vary. Device voices read longer text where available. Sound clips keep their normal rate. Ask a teacher or helper if a sound is unclear.

Letters IJKL

A letter has a name. It can also represent a sound in a word. Listen to the name and then the sound example.

I ↔ i ink This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find i in ink.

J ↔ j jam This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find j in jam.

K ↔ k kite This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find k in kite.

L ↔ l log This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find l in log.
