![This story teaches the PQs for the COMMON SOUNDS of letters, the ways letters look when they say their most common sounds. Clicking on the red words will show you how we make letters look when they say their most common sound. The PQ hint button next to each paragraph will tell you which letter or letters in the word are making their common sounds. Remember, NORMAL LOOKING LETTERS, ALWAYS SAY, THEIR MOST COMMON SOUND.](https://mlc.learningstewards.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/hint.png)
