For grown-ups

Companion summary

Can you hear a sneaky hissing sound in "sun," "sock," and "sandwich"? That sound helps you read and write hundreds of words you use every day. A snake says ssss — and so does the start of "smell," "smile," and "slide." When you finish, try spotting that sound in your favourite storybook!

Wake Up!

Wake Up!

Make a snake noise. Say 'sss' slowly. That is the sound 's' makes!

Can you say 'sss' like a snake?
