For grown-ups

Companion summary

Can you hear the sound hiding in "cat", "hat", and "map"? That little sound helps you read signs, storybooks, and your favourite cereal box. The word "and" starts with it — you probably say it hundreds of times every day. When you finish, try spotting that sound in three words around your home.
