  • How many sounds do you hear in the word "suds"?

You may have said the word "suds" has four sounds in it.

That is correct! Listen /s/ /u/ /d/ /s/.

In this lesson, you will practice listening to words and naming all the sounds in the word. If you need to review the first Related Lesson in our Blending and Segmenting series, find it in the right-hand sidebar.
