The Next 10 Sounds! 🎉

You already know 6 sounds. Now meet 10 more — and your word power EXPLODES!

The Secret 🔑

🤫
The Rule
Every consonant has one job — make its sound! Learn these 10 and you now know all 16 consonants. You are already more than halfway through the alphabet code!

Your 10 New Sounds 🎨

👆 Tap any card and listen to the FIRST sound of the word!
H /h/
hat
B /b/
bat
F /fff/
fan
L /lll/
lip
J /j/
jab
V /vvv/
van
W /w/
win
X /ks/
fox
Y /y/
yap
Z /zzz/
zip

Words you can ALREADY read! 🌟

👆 Tap any word to hear it!
hat
on your head!
bat
hit it hard!
fin
fish has one!
lip
on your face!
jab
a quick poke!
van
big vehicle!
🎯
The Challenge — Read this silly sentence!
"A fat hen in a big van hit a wet lab and ran fast!"
A very round hen climbed into a big van, accidentally bumped into a lab, and then ran away as fast as her little legs could carry her! 😄 Read it again — but FASTER this time!

⚠️ Rule Breaker Watch!

⚠️ Watch Out — X and Y are sneaky!
X at the END of a word says /ks/ — like in fox, box, wax. But X at the START is rare and says /z/ — like in xylophone! 🎵! We will meet that sneaky X later! 😄

Y at the start says /y/ — like yap, yes, yell. But Y at the END of a word becomes a vowel and says /ee/ — like in happy, funny, silly! We will meet that sneaky Y later! 😄
