  SOUNDS THE LETTERS MAKE is divided into two major sectors - vowels and consonants.  The vowels, confusing to so many people, are grouped as long and short with instructions on how to produce and pronounce them.  A delightful, easy to learn, song is presented for reinforcement of the letter/sound association.  Consonants are grouped according to lip, tongue, and teeth sounds in developmental order in voiced and voiceless forms where applicable.  Each letter sound is pictured, named, labeled, associated, described, and demonstrated with lip, tongue, and teeth positions.  Letter sounds are performed to music and syllables and words are presented for practice.
