Recall the ten single-digit pegs (0–9). Can you name all ten in order and picture a story that links them?
Each single digit maps to exactly one consonant sound, and the peg is a short word built on it: 0 = /s/, 1 = /t/, 2 = /n/, 3 = /m/, 4 = /r/, 5 = /l/, 6 = /sh/, 7 = /k/, 8 = /f/, 9 = /b/.
0 ace · 1 tie · 2 hen · 3 emu · 4 arrow · 5 owl · 6 shoe · 7 cow · 8 ivy · 9 bee
Picture story (follow the scenes):
An ace of spades tucked into a striped tie.
A proud hen in that tie rides on an emu.
A wise owl looses an arrow and the emu bolts.
A flung shoe bonks a startled cow.
The cow blunders into a wall of ivy humming with one fat bee.
Make your own if this one doesn't stick.
