I am hesitant to write "use the /b/ sound" because it is vague unless you are familiar with how sounds are written. But, with your explanation,it is clear for readers. Thanks!

However, one thing to try not to do is to teach your child the "b" sound with the short u sound, "buh". It is just /b/. Always try to cut out that short vowel sound at the end of letters like b, d, k, etc. Think of it as literally cutting off the vowel sound from the end. It takes practice but it's helpful when learning to blend letters to make words. As a reading specialist I also think games are a great way to learn anything.
