READING / Level 1 — Letters & Sounds
Letters YZ
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 YZ
A letter has a name. It can also represent a sound in a word. Listen to the name and then the sound example.
Y ↔ y yes This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find y in yes.
Z ↔ z zip This is a common sound, not the only sound this letter can represent. Find z in zip.
Helpful earlier practice: Level 0 — Listening & Sound Awareness. This is a suggestion, not a requirement.
