What children learn in Level 42
- Letters have names, and they make sounds too! This is M. M says /m/, like the start of moon.
- S says /s/, like a snake. /s/, sun!
- T says /t/, like the start of tiger. B says /b/, like ball.
- P says /p/, like pig. Feel the puff of air: /p/!
- Your turn! Moon starts with /m/. Find the letter M.
- Try it with a grown-up! Your grown-up writes M, S, and T on paper. They say a sound, and you jump on the letter!
