Today, we are going to have fun with the letter A! The letter A is the first letter in the alphabet. Let’s learn how to see it, say it, and sign it!
Look at the letter A. It has a big triangle shape with a line across the middle. Can you find the letter A in your favorite book?
The letter A makes the sound “a” like in the word “apple.” Can you say “a” with me? Let’s try it with some more words: “alligator,” “animals,” and “ape.” Great job!
Now, let’s learn how to sign the letter A with our hands. First, put four fingers down on your palm. Then, stick your thumb out to the side. That’s how you sign the letter A! Can you try it?
It’s fun to sing and sign with the letter A! You can sing about apples, alligators, animals, and apes. Try making up your own song using words that start with A. Remember, learning is fun when we see it, say it, and sign it!
Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be an expert at the letter A!
Letter A Hunt: Go on a letter A hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter A, like an apple, an apron, or an ant. Can you find at least three things? Draw a picture of each item you find and practice saying the word out loud. Share your drawings with a friend or family member and tell them about your letter A adventure!
Sound Matching Game: Gather a few small objects or pictures of things that start with different letters. Mix them up and sort them into two groups: those that start with the letter A and those that do not. Practice saying the name of each object and listen carefully to the beginning sound. Can you find all the items that start with the letter A?
Sign and Sing: Practice signing the letter A with your hands while singing a simple song about things that start with A. You can use the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and make up your own lyrics. For example, “A is for apple, red and round, A is for alligator, big and loud.” Encourage your friends or family to join in and sign along with you!
