🎩 H is for Hat
Hat — say it with the "huh" sound!
The letter H makes the "huh" sound, just like at the start of the word Hat.
🔊 The Sound of Letter H
To make the H sound, open your mouth and breathe out a soft puff of air, as if you were fogging up a mirror. Your tongue and lips do not move much at all. H is very quiet, so make it short and gentle: 'h', not 'huh'. Hold your hand in front of your mouth and feel the warm air.
For everything else about H, including its other sounds, how to write capital H and small h, and more words, see the Letter H page.
