The “b”sound

Bb Teacher’s Guide: The letter B is a dependable letter. It

usually makes the "buh" sound as in bat.
However, it is sometimes silent (as in doubt or lamb). The rule for
remembering this is that when b comes BEFORE T or AFTER M in
the same syllable, it is silent. This is too advanced for
kindergarten students just learning to associate the sounds with
the letters. Therefore, until the children have mastered the
"typical" letter b sound, try to stay away from using words such
as doubt or lamb when teaching the letter b.
