Get ready, get set! Today, we are going to learn about the alphabet. Did you know there are 26 letters in the alphabet? That’s right, just 26!
Let’s talk about the letter W. W is a special letter in the alphabet. Here is what an uppercase W looks like: W. Can you try writing it in the air with your finger? Great job!
Now, let’s look at a lowercase w: w. Can you write this one in the air too? Awesome!
The letter W is a consonant, and it makes a sound like this: /w/ /w/ /w/. Can you say the W sound with me? /w/ /w/ /w/. Fantastic!
Let’s listen for the W sound at the beginning of some words:
Can you hear the /w/ sound? Great listening!
Now, let’s find the W sound at the end of these words:
Did you hear the /w/ sound at the end? You’re doing amazing!
Learning about the alphabet is so much fun! We can learn each letter, each sound, and how to write them. It feels so good to learn how to read and write. I’m proud of you for trying your best!
Get ready, get set! Let’s keep learning about the alphabet. Remember, there are 26 letters, and each one is special. Keep practicing and have fun!
W Sound Hunt: Go on a “W Sound Hunt” around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the /w/ sound, like “window” or “watch.” Can you find at least three items? Draw a picture of each item you find and practice saying the /w/ sound as you show your drawings to a friend or family member.
W Craft Time: Create a “W is for Whale” craft. Use construction paper to cut out the shape of a whale. Decorate your whale with crayons, markers, or stickers. As you work on your craft, practice saying the word “whale” and emphasize the /w/ sound at the beginning. Share your whale with the class and say why you chose to make a whale.
W Sound Story: With the help of a teacher or parent, create a short story using as many words that start with the letter W as possible. For example, “Wendy the woodpecker went to the woods to find worms.” Illustrate your story with drawings and share it with your classmates. How many W words did you use?
