Use Listen when you are ready.

Audio help

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 QRST

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

Q ↔ q queen Q usually works with u: queen starts with two sounds, k then w. Find q in queen.

R ↔ r rat This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find r in rat.

S ↔ s sun This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find s in sun.

T ↔ t top This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find t in top.
