S Says /s/

The letter s makes a snake sound: sss. Smile a little, keep your teeth close, and let air hiss out.

Sun, sock, and sand start with /s/. The letter even looks like a curvy snake! Listen: sss-sit.

The hiss comes first, so sit starts with s. Hiss like a snake whenever you hear an /s/ word.
