### 3. On’yomi first.

While most kanji were already taught with their on’yomi readings, we’ve moved some items around, and added some vocabulary, so more of the kanji follow this pattern. To help you out, here is a list kanji where the reading’s correct answer changed from kun’yomi to on’yomi:

| 四 | 2 | よん, よ | し |
| 右 | 2 | みぎ | ゆう |
| 方 | 3 | かた | ほう |
| 石 | 4 | いし | せき |
| 打 | 4 | う, ぶ | だ |
| 兄 | 5 | あに | きょう |
| 考 | 5 | かんが | こう |
| 皮 | 5 | かわ | ひ |
| 星 | 6 | ほし | せい |

| 細 | 17 | ほそ, こま | さい |
| 悲 | 17 | かな | ひ |
| 忙 | 19 | いそが | ぼう |
| 困 | 20 | こま | こん |
| 値 | 22 | ね, あたい | ち |
| 針 | 26 | はり | しん |
| 遊 | 30 | あそ | ゆう |
| 久 | 32 | ひさ | きゅう |
| 甲 | 39 | か | こう |
| 魂 | 45 | たましい | こん |
| 杏 | 54 | あんず | こう |
