Don't worry if you're not as fast as Sara and Caira - with practice you soon will be! Take it nice and slowly at first using this video of a French talking dog to help you. Be sure to say each letter out loud because many of them sound different to how they are pronounced in English.  media type="custom" key="4467483"

 If you want to practise at home, here are some __**on-line games and activities**__ to help you!

Firstly, this site will help you to learn [|each individual letter sound] (or practise those you find most difficult!) Simply click the green headphone button to hear the sound each letter makes or the blue + button for some examples of words which contain any specific letter sound. 

Here's a [|typewriter activity] on another site that will help you to perfect your pronunciation of letter sounds too.

Next, an activity from the [|Boowa and Kwala website] which will test whether you recognise letter sounds when you hear them. Listen to Boowa say one of the letters of the alphabet and then click on the corresponding card to show that you do!

This next website also offers an activity to test your [|listening skills]. You can use the 'Vocabulaire' section first to be sure you know all of the letter sounds and then move onto the 'Exercice' section. Click on the blue headphones to hear a letter sound read aloud and then move your cursor to select the matching letter of the alphabet. Click on the green 'suivant' arrow after each turn to hear the next sound.
