Lessons · Unit 3, lesson 23

Join the halves: m + at → mat

You know beginnings (ma, si, to) and endings (at, it, op). A whole word is just both halves said as one breath: m…at — mat. s…it — sit. Read each sheet below, find the beginning and the ending you already know, then say them as one word.

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

That's the whole trick of reading English aloud: every word is halves you already know. The next unit turns this into real vocabulary, easiest first.
