Consonant sounds are the sounds we make with our mouths when we block air partially or completely while speaking. Unlike vowel sounds, which are open and free-flowing, consonants involve using our lips, teeth, and tongue to shape the sound. Practicing consonant sounds helps improve pronunciation and reading skills. This worksheet focuses on identifying and using consonant sounds effectively.
