Learning Objective: The student will learn and associate the ‘d’ sound /d/ to the letter ‘d’
Note: Always use the ‘d’ sound /d/ when referring to the letter ‘d’. Don’t use the letter name.

The “d” sound /d/

Dd Teacher’s Guide: The Letter D is a generally reliable

letter. It usually makes the "duh" sound as in dog or
sad. D sometimes makes the /t/ sound (especially when
it is the suffix "ed" as in kissed) When combined with
another consonant, especially the letter "g", a
grapheme is formed which sounds like /j/ (as in
ledger)

In this lesson, we will use the /d/ ‘duh’ sound.
