๐Ÿฑ Meet Pip the Phonics Cat!

๐Ÿฑ

Pip wants to read a book about her friend the dog.

But the book uses sounds Pip doesn't know yet!

Can you help Pip learn the sounds so she can read her book?

Letters make sounds!

๐Ÿ”ค

Every letter has a special sound.

Try these with Pip:

s ยท a ยท t ยท p ยท i ยท n

Say each one out loud. Make the sound, not the letter name!

"s" โ†’ ssssss ยท "a" โ†’ aaa ยท "t" โ†’ tuh

Put sounds together = a word!

๐Ÿงฑโž•๐Ÿงฑโž•๐Ÿงฑ

This is called blending.

Watch Pip do it:

c โ€” a โ€” t โ†’ cat ๐Ÿฑ

d โ€” o โ€” g โ†’ dog ๐Ÿถ

Now you try blending: p โ€” i โ€” g โ†’ what word is that?

Sneaky sounds: digraphs!

๐Ÿคซ

Sometimes two letters make one sound.

Watch these magic pairs:

sh in ship ๐Ÿšข

ch in chip ๐ŸŸ

th in thumb ๐Ÿ‘

These are called digraphs. The two letters are best friends โ€” they only make one sound together.
