Same or Different?

Hear whether two sounds or words are the same.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.

For grown-ups

Your child listens closely and tells whether two sounds or words are the same or different. We suggest reading it together.

What children learn in Level 15

Let's be good listeners! Some sounds are the same. Moo… moo. The same!
Some sounds are different. Moo… quack. Different!
Words can sound almost the same, but not quite. Cat… hat. Listen to the beginning: different!
Your turn! Listen: dog… dog. Same, or different? The same! Thumbs up!
Try it with a grown-up! Close your eyes. Your grown-up makes two sounds, like a clap and a knock. Same, or different?
