qu quit
This is the consonant q
q is always followed by u, so we teach it as qu
qu blends 2 sounds — /k/ and /w/ — to make a /kw/ sound
(There’s a practice sheet for reference for correct letter formation).
v van
This is the consonant sound /v/
/v/ is a long sound. See how long you say “vvvvvvvvvvv”
(There’s a practice sheet for reference for correct letter formation).
h hop
This is the consonant sound /h/
Most teachers call this a short sound, too, as you can’t hold the sound. It’s a quick breath of air.
