Alphabet sounds

Eight revised sounds using Nook’s existing voice with explicit phoneme instructions. Tap a player to listen. Nothing plays automatically.

These are generated examples for listening review, not recordings verified by a phonics teacher. I uses the short sound in “in”. The other eighteen keyboard sounds keep their existing recordings.

A

Short a, as in apple; Ah

E

Short e, as in egg; Eh

I

Short i, as in in; not eye

L

Ul, ending in l

O

Short o, as in off or on

R

Sustained r; rurrrr

X

Kus, one sound sequence rather than letter names

Z

Voiced zzzuh, not s
