Listen & Spell: Using Sounds to Spell Words  @IXL
Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
Let's practice spelling words by listening carefully to their sounds!

In this video, we'll learn how to stretch out the sounds in a word, segment their sounds, and match each sound to a letter. As we spell together, we'll listen closely, identify the sounds we hear, and use those sounds to build words one letter at a time. Practicing this important spelling strategy can prepare young readers to read and write new words.

So, grab your listening ears and see if you can identify each sound before the letter appears!
