Letter Sounds

Hear a letter read aloud, then pick the matching letter in this phonics game for children ages 3 to 6. Each round uses your browser's built-in text-to-speech feature to say a letter out loud — no audio files to load, and the game still works fine without sound on devices that don't support it, just with one less feedback cue. Connecting a letter's spoken name to its printed shape is a foundational phonics skill, and doing that matching by ear first, rather than only by sight, mirrors how most children actually build early letter knowledge: hearing a letter named repeatedly in context before they can reliably write or read it themselves. The four-choice format keeps guessing unlikely to accidentally succeed too often, while still being a manageable number of options for a preschooler to scan. If your device's audio doesn't play, you can still read the letter name in the prompt text and play normally. This game pairs especially well with singing the ABC Song right before or after a round.
