  Dyslexia friendly features: easily readable font, large font size, larger line spacing to improve readability, no use of underlining or italics, dark coloured text on a cream background

**Please note that I have done my best to record the sounds as clearly as possible to make them audible and not too distorted by the recording process. Remember that children will always find it easier to recognise phonemes when spoken by a real person as they can see the mouth movements being made and the person speaking can adapt their speed, volume and number of repetitions to help the child.
