Learning the Letter B with Ollo

Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about the letter B. Our friend Ollo is here to help us understand how this letter sounds and where we can find it in words.

The Sound of the Letter B

Did you know that the letter B makes a special sound? It’s the /b/ sound. You can hear it at the beginning of words like “ball.” Try saying it with me: /b/, /b/, ball. Great job!

Ollo’s Fun Trick

Ollo loves to play with a ball, and he wants to show us a cool trick. Watch as he bounces the ball and listen for the /b/ sound. Isn’t it amazing how the letter B can be so much fun?
