The Alphabet: all 26 colorful letters

Hi there! Welcome to letter time!

Did you know that letters help us read books, write our names, & even read signs?

The alphabet is all the letters we use. There are 26 of them!

Today we will meet some letters & learn the sounds they make. It will be so much fun!

Do You Know Any Letters?

Let's start with what you already know!

Do you know any letters? Can you tell me one?

Meet Letters A to F

Letters A to F with their sounds and pictures

Let's meet some letters!

A says ah like apple.

B says buh like ball.

C says cuh like cat.

D says duh like dog.

E says eh like egg.

F says fuh like fish.

Those are the first six letters of the alphabet!

What letter does your name start with? Do you know?

Every Letter Makes a Sound

Here is something really cool about letters.

Every letter makes its own special sound!

When you say a word, you are putting letter sounds together.

Like the word cat: it starts with the cuh sound. That is the letter C!

And the word ball starts with the buh sound. That is the letter B!

What sound does the letter C make? Can you try to say it?

Can You Find the Letter?

Words start with letters: letter to word examples

Now let's play a game!

Words come from letters. And the first letter of a word tells you what sound it starts with.

Listen to this word: dog.

Dog starts with the duh sound. That means it starts with the letter D!

Let's try another one.

What letter does the word **fish** start with? Listen: *fffff*-ish.

Letters Live Everywhere

Letters are on books, signs, cereal boxes, and screens!

Did you know that letters are all around you?

Letters are on signs outside.

Letters are on the cover of your favorite books.

Letters are on your cereal box at breakfast!

Letters are even on the screen you are looking at right now!

When you know your letters, you can start to read all those words!

Where do you see letters? Can you tell me one place you have seen letters today?
