Let’s Learn About the Letter H!

Meet the Letter H

The letter H is a special letter in the alphabet. It comes after G and before I. We use it to make words and sounds in English.

Big H and Little h

The letter H can look two different ways:

– **Big H**: We use this at the start of sentences or for names.
– **Little h**: We use this in most words.

How to Write the Letter H

Writing the letter H is fun! Let’s learn how to write both kinds:

– **Big H**:
1. Draw a straight line down.
2. Draw another straight line down next to it.
3. Connect them with a line across the middle.

– **Little h**:
1. Draw a long line down.
2. Make a little curve up and then down.
3. Finish with another long line down.

The Sound of H

The letter H makes a sound like “huh,” just like in the word “horse.” Knowing the sounds of letters helps us read and talk better.

Words That Start with H

Here are some words that start with the “huh” sound:

– **Horse**
– **Hat**
– **Hello**
– **Happy**

These words help us learn how the letter H sounds and looks in different words.

Wrapping Up

The letter H is an important letter to know. It has its own look and sound. By learning how to write and say H, we get better at reading and writing. Next, we’ll learn about the letter I and discover new sounds and words!

  • Can you think of any other words that start with the letter H? What are they, and where have you seen or heard them before?
  • Why do you think it’s important to know how to write both big H and little h? Can you find examples of each in a book or around your home?
  • Have you ever noticed how the letter H sounds in different words? Can you make a list of things you like that start with the “huh” sound?
  1. H Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the “huh” sound, like “hat” or “hand.” Can you find at least three things? Share what you found with a friend or family member and practice saying the words together.
  2. H Art Project: Create an art project using the letter H. Draw a big H on a piece of paper and turn it into something fun, like a house or a helicopter. Use crayons, markers, or colored paper to decorate your H creation. Display your artwork and explain what you made to the class.
  3. Story Time with H: Think of a short story or sentence using as many “H” words as you can. For example, “The happy horse wore a hat.” Draw a picture to go with your story. Share your story and picture with the class, and see how many “H” words you can count together!
