Are you ready to have some fun with letters? Today, we’re going to learn about a special letter in the alphabet. There are 26 letters in total, and today we will focus on the letter B!
The letter B is a part of the alphabet family. Look, here is an uppercase B. Can you write it in the air with your finger? Great job! Now, let’s try a lowercase b. Write it in the air too. Awesome!
The letter B makes a sound like this: /b/ – /b/ /b/ /b/ /b/. Can you say it with me? /b/ – /b/ /b/ /b/ /b/. Fantastic!
Let’s listen for the B sound at the beginning of these words:
There was a bunny, bunny, bunny
With a basket, basket, basket
Who rode a bicycle, bicycle, bicycle
To pick some berries, berries, berries.
Now, let’s listen for the B sound at the end of these words:
There was a crab, crab, crab
Who had a job, job, job
To fix the tub, tub, tub
And the knob, knob, knob.
Learning about the alphabet is so much fun! We can learn each letter, each sound, and how to write them down. It feels great to learn how to read and write!
Remember, there are 26 letters in the alphabet. Let’s keep learning and having fun with each one!
Letter B Hunt: Go on a letter B hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter B, like a book, ball, or banana. Can you find at least three things? Draw a picture of each item you find and try to write the word next to it. This will help you recognize the letter B in everyday objects!
B Sound Game: Gather a few small items or toys. Some should start with the letter B, like a block or a bear, and some should not, like a car or a doll. Mix them up and take turns picking an item. Say the name of the item out loud and decide if it starts with the /b/ sound. If it does, place it in the “B” basket. If not, place it in the “Not B” basket. This will help you practice listening for the B sound.
Create a B Story: Use your imagination to create a short story using as many B words as you can. Start with a sentence like “Once upon a time, there was a brave bear named Ben.” Draw a picture to go with your story. Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the B words. This activity will help you think creatively and use the letter B in sentences.
