The same words in italic print
Recognise т, и, д and п when their shapes change.
About this unit
Italic print changes some letter shapes, not their sounds.
- In italics, т can look like m, и like u, д like g and п like n.
- Read the whole word: a word you know tells you which letter it is.
- Never give an italic letter its Latin lookalike sound.

In many italic fonts т resembles Latin m, и resembles u, д resembles g and п resembles n. Read the entire known word to identify the shape; do not assign it a Latin value.
