Hello friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about some special letters. Are you ready? Let’s start with the letter “S”!
The letter “S” sounds like a soft hiss, like a snake. Can you make that sound? Let’s try writing it! For the big “S,” we curve our pencil to the left and then to the right. It looks like a fish hook! The small “s” is a bit different. We start here, go up with a straight line, curve down, and finish with a little tail. It looks like an elf’s ear!
Let’s find some words that start with “S.” How about “sun”? Yes, “sun” starts with “S.” So does “sofa” and “salt.” Great job!
Next, we have the letter “T.” It sounds like a train. Choo-choo! Let’s write it. For the big “T,” we draw a line down and then a line across the top. The small “t” is a bit tricky. We start here, go up, then down, and make a little line across. It looks like a duck!
Can you think of words that start with “T”? “Train” starts with “T,” and so does “tiger.” Well done!
Now, let’s learn about the letter “U.” It has two sounds. Let’s write the big “U.” We draw a long line down, curve it at the bottom, and draw a line up. The small “u” is similar but with a little tail. It looks like a sloth hanging on a tree!
What words start with “U”? “Universe” and “uniform” both start with “U.” Awesome!
Next is the letter “V.” It sounds like “V.” Let’s write it! For the big “V,” we start here, draw a line down, and then up again. The small “v” is similar. We start here, go up, curve down, and up again.
Can you find words that start with “V”? “Voice” and “video” both start with “V.” Great!
Now, let’s meet the letter “W.” It sounds like “W.” For the big “W,” we start here, make a line down, then up, down again, and up. The small “w” is similar. We start here, curve up, down, and up again.
What words have “W”? “Kiwi” and “Wi-Fi” both have a “W.” Fantastic!
Next is the letter “X.” It sounds like “X.” Let’s write it! For the big “X,” we make a diagonal line downwards, then another diagonal line in the opposite direction. The small “x” is similar, with a little twist.
Can you think of words with “X”? “Xylophone” starts with “X,” and “taxi” has an “X.” Super!
Now, let’s learn about the letter “Y.” It sounds like “Y.” For the big “Y,” we make a short diagonal line, lift the pencil, and make another line to the right that connects to the first one, then draw a line straight down. The small “y” starts with a short line, goes down, makes a curve, and ends with a little tail.
What words start with “Y”? “Yoga” and “yeti” both start with “Y.” Excellent!
Finally, we have the letter “Z.” It sounds like “Z.” For the big “Z,” we draw a straight line across, then a diagonal line down, and another line to the right. The small “z” is similar.
Can you find words that start with “Z”? “Zoo” and “zumba” both start with “Z.” You’re amazing!
You’ve just learned some cool letters! Keep practicing and have fun with more letters. See you next time for more learning adventures!
Letter Hunt: Go on a letter hunt around your house or classroom! Look for objects that start with the letters S to Z. Can you find something that starts with each letter? For example, a spoon for “S” or a towel for “T.” Draw a picture of each object you find and try to write the letter it starts with next to your drawing.
Sound Match Game: Let’s play a sound match game! Make a list of the sounds each letter makes, like the hissing sound for “S” or the choo-choo sound for “T.” Now, listen carefully to the sounds around you. Can you hear any sounds that match the letters? Maybe the wind sounds like “W” or a zipper sounds like “Z.” Share what you hear with a friend or family member!
Letter Art: Create art using the letters S to Z! Use playdough, pipe cleaners, or even draw with crayons to make each letter. Once you’ve made the letters, think of a word that starts with each one and draw a picture of it next to your letter. For example, make a “V” and draw a picture of a violin next to it. Display your artwork for everyone to see!
