In sound sensible students are introduced to letters and key words. The key words aim to help students recall the letter sound. For most letters this is associated with the beginning sound of the word. When working on these lessons we say the letter name, the letter sound, and the key word. The following slide deck contains the letters of the alphabet and their key words. Please note that in our classroom we focus mainly on consonants and the short sound for letter A.
