B Says /b/

The letter b says /b/. It is like /p/, with lips pressed and popped open, but your voice is on, so your throat buzzes.

Ball, bus, and bat start with /b/. Listen to the end of tub: tu-b.

Bounce a pretend ball each time you hear /b/: b, b, b!

Feel the difference between /p/ and /b/ with your hand on your throat.
