Hello, friends! Today, we are going to have fun learning how words are made with letters. Did you know that every word you hear can be written down using the letters of the alphabet? Let’s explore how this works!
Let’s start with the word “dog.” It is spelled with three letters: d-o-g. Can you say it with me? “Dog.” Great job!
Now, let’s try the word “cat.” It is spelled c-a-t. Let’s say it together: “Cat.” Well done!
How about the word “mop”? It is spelled m-o-p. Let’s read it: “Mop.” Excellent!
When we write sentences, we put spaces between words. Look at this sentence: “The sun is hot.” There are spaces between each word. Let’s count the words: one, two, three, four. Good counting!
Spaces help us see where one word ends and another begins. Without spaces, it would be hard to read. Let’s look at another sentence: “The dog ran.” How many words are there? One, two, three. Good job!
We can make words by putting sounds in order. Let’s look at the word “web.” It starts with the letter “w,” which makes the “w” sound. The letter “e” in the middle makes the “e” sound, and the letter “b” at the end makes the “b” sound. Together, they spell “web.”
Let’s practice with the letters h-t-a. These letters make the word “hat.” The “h” makes the “h” sound, the “a” makes the “a” sound, and the “t” makes the “t” sound. Let’s say it: “Hat.”
Did you know that letters have uppercase and lowercase forms? We use uppercase letters at the beginning of names and sentences. Let’s learn about the letters A, B, and C.
This is the letter “A.” It has an uppercase “A” and a lowercase “a.” The word “apple” starts with “A.” Let’s say it: “Apple.”
This is the letter “B.” It has an uppercase “B” and a lowercase “b.” The word “bat” starts with “B.” Let’s say it: “Bat.”
This is the letter “C.” It has an uppercase “C” and a lowercase “c.” The word “cat” starts with “C.” Let’s say it: “Cat.”
When we read, we start at the top of the page and read from left to right. Let’s practice with a story. We start with the word “once” and read: “Once upon a time, there was a dear little girl who lived near a wood.”
Remember, we read from the top to the bottom of the page, and then we go to the next page. Let’s practice reading together: “Once upon a time, there was a dear little girl who lived near a wood. Her mother loved her very much. One day, the mother gave her a little riding hood of red velvet. It was so nice that the girl wore it every day, so she was always called Little Red Riding Hood.”
Great job! Now you can practice reading and writing words on your own. Have fun!
Letter Hunt: Go on a letter hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the letters A, B, and C. Can you find an apple for “A,” a book for “B,” and a cup for “C”? Draw a picture of each object you find and practice writing the uppercase and lowercase letters next to your drawing.
Word Building Blocks: Use building blocks or letter tiles to create simple words like “dog,” “cat,” and “mop.” Mix up the letters and see if you can put them back in the right order to spell the words again. Try making new words with the same letters, like “god” or “top,” and see how changing the order changes the word!
Sound Detective: Be a sound detective and listen for the sounds in words around you. When you hear a word, try to break it down into its sounds. For example, if you hear the word “hat,” say the sounds “h-a-t.” Can you find other words that start with the same sound as “hat”? Maybe “happy” or “hop”? Share your discoveries with a friend or family member!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music] Hi everyone! In this lesson, you are going to learn about how words can be written out with letters. All of the words in the song “Hickory Dickory Dock” are made by putting letters together. Every word that you hear can be written down. To write words, we use the letters of the alphabet. Letters are written in a certain order to spell different words.
Listen to the word “dog.” [Music] The word “dog” is written with three letters: d-o-g. [Music] Let’s read together: “dog.” Very good! [Music]
Listen to the word “cat.” The word “cat” is written with three letters: c-a-t. [Music] Can you read this word? “Cat.” Well done!
Listen to the word “mop.” The word “mop” is written with three letters: m-o-p. [Music] Let’s read this word together: “mop.” Excellent! Now you can practice finding words that are written out on your own. See you later! [Music]
Hi everyone! In this lesson, you will learn why we put spaces between words when we write. Look at this sentence: “The sun is hot.” Do you see that there is a space between each word? We can see that there are four words in the sentence. Let’s count together: one, two, three, four. [Music]
Whenever you write, you must put a space between every word. If you don’t put spaces between your words, people can’t tell where one word ends and another starts. That would make it very hard to read. Much better now! [Music]
What is wrong with this sentence? Yes, there are no spaces between the words in this sentence. Can you see how this makes it very hard to read? It is much easier to read when we put spaces between the words. “The dog ran.” There are three words in this sentence. Let’s count together: one, two, three.
Let’s take a look at another sentence: “I see the cat.” How many words are in this sentence? There are spaces between each word. This helps us see that there are four words in the sentence. Let’s count together: one, two, three, four. Well done! Now you can practice finding spaces between written words. Bye!
[Music] Hi everyone! In this lesson, you are going to learn how to put sounds in order to make words. [Music] Every word that you hear can be written down. To write words, we use the letters of the alphabet. Letters are written in a certain order to spell different words.
Look: d-o-g, “dog.” [Music] a-c-a-t, “cat.” [Music] The spider in the song “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” made a spider web. The word “web” is written using three letters of the alphabet. It starts with a “w,” which makes the sound. The word “web” has the letter “e” in the middle, which makes the “e” sound. The letter “b” is at the end of the word, making the sound. When we put all of the letter sounds together, we have our word “web.”
Let’s practice putting letters in order to make a word together: h-t-a. These letters are in the word “hat,” but they are all out of order. Let’s see if we can figure out the letters to make the word “hat.” The letter “h” makes the sound, the letter “a” makes the “a” sound, and the letter “t” makes the “t” sound. [Music] “Hat.” Now you can practice putting letters in order to make words on your own.
[Music] The uppercase alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. [Music]
Hi everyone! Did you know that in every story you read, there are uppercase letters and lowercase letters? They are used to make names and sentences. All letters have an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter. We use an uppercase letter at the beginning of names, for example, “Cinderella.” [Music]
We also use an uppercase letter to begin a sentence, for example, “She is nice.” In this lesson, you are going to learn the letters A, B, and C. This is the letter “A.” This is an uppercase “A,” and this is a lowercase “a.” The word “apple” starts with the letter “A.” Let’s read together: “apple.” Well done!
This is the letter “B.” This is an uppercase “B,” and this is a lowercase “b.” The word “bat” starts with the letter “B.” Let’s read this word together: “bat.” Very good!
This is the letter “C.” This is an uppercase “C,” and this is a lowercase “c.” The word “cat” starts with the letter “C.” Can you read this word? “Cat.” Very good! Now you can practice identifying the uppercase letters A and C on your own. Bye!
[Music]
In the story “Little Red Riding Hood,” the narrator read the words in the book in order from left to right. In this lesson, you are going to learn about reading words in the correct order. If you don’t read words in order, they won’t make any sense. We always start reading at the top of a page, then we read from left to right.
On this page, we would read the word “once” first. Let’s read this page together in order: “Once upon a time, there was a dear little girl who lived near a wood.” We started at the top of the page and read the words from left to right. If your story has more than one page, you always read the left page first.
Let’s practice reading these pages together. Which word should we start with? The word “once.” Excellent! Remember, when we read words, we read from left to right. We read from the top of the page to the bottom of the page, then we go to the next page.
Let’s read together: “Once upon a time, there was a dear little girl who lived near a wood. Her mother loved her very much. One day, the mother gave her a little riding hood of red velvet. It was so nice that the girl wore it every day, so she was always called Little Red Riding Hood.” Well done! Now you can practice reading words in order on your own. Bye!
