Consonants

 

There are 25 consonant sounds in the English language. Consonants also have symbols that represent their sounds. Most of the symbols are the letters that represent the sound, however there are a few exceptions.

 

          The letter c can sound like an ‘s’ or a ‘k’.  

          The letter g can sound like a ‘j’, in addition to the harder ‘g’ sound.      

          Five sounds are represented by two letters- these are ch, sh, zh, and th.  

          ‘th’ has two sounds- one voiced and one voiceless.
