Sound credits & practice notes

Letter names and phonics sounds use human-recorded female voices in British English. Alphabet and Write words play only the name of each finished letter. Sound out plays short vowels and individual consonants, then the whole word. In this collection c and k use /k/ and g uses its hard sound. Z is pronounced “zed” in the alphabet recordings.

Whole words

Whole-word prompts retain the female Microsoft Aria/Jenny recordings shared with Little Words and Jenny recordings for additional words. All audio is served from local files; no text or audio is sent to a speech service during practice.

Handwriting

The guides use simple print forms with a single-storey a and g. Vertical stems start at the top. Capital E is down, top, middle, bottom; F is down, top, middle. Pen lifts separate the straight strokes. This is a practice style, not a named curriculum; completion means following the guide.
