Words with Z are all around!

Buzz and fuzz and fizz and frizz!

Sometimes ess can be your friend!
Has and his and is and as,
Single S is what they have!

Words like jazz and buzz and fuzz,
End with double Zee because,
That's the way we spell it right,
To make that buzzing, humming sound so bright!
But words like has and was and is,
Use just one ess—don't miss, don't miss!
Drums and tops and pans so grand,
Use just one ess across the land!

Has and his and is and as,
Single S is how they pass!
Hear the buzzing at the end,
Listen closely, phonics friend!
Has, his, is, and as—
Single S is what they have!
