03 Syllables Quiz - Sound Discrimination

With this quiz, you will be able to assess your ability to identify syllables and syllable stress.

We recommend that you complete all five of the sound discrimination quizzes before using the self “speaking practice” activities. You may take the quiz as many times as needed to obtain a score of 80% or above. Questions are randomly selected.
