Can you say it in your head? Think it: “can.”

Find the Missing Letters

Let’s play a game! Look at this: “acn.” Can you tell me which letter is missing? That’s right, it’s “c” at the beginning!

Now, look at this: “anc.” Can you find the two missing letters? Yes, it’s “c” and “a” at the start!

What letter comes next? It’s “a.”

And what letter comes last? It’s “n.”
