ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten The Letter D | Alphabet A-Z Let’s Learn From A- Z | Alphabet Song
The alphabet is like a special set of letters that help us write and read. Today, we’re going to have fun learning about the letter D!
The letter D is a consonant. It has two forms: uppercase D and lowercase d. Let’s see how they look!
Uppercase D looks like this: D. Let’s try writing it in the air together! Start at the top, draw a straight line down, then lift your finger and make a big curve to the right, all the way down. Great job!
Lowercase d looks like this: d. Let’s write it in the air! Start in the middle, make a curve to the left, then go straight up and down. You did it!
The letter D makes the sound /d/. Can you say it with me? /d/ /d/ /d/ /d/. Awesome!
Let’s listen for the /d/ sound at the beginning of these words: duck, daisy, donkey, donut. Did you hear it?
Now, let’s find the /d/ sound at the end of these words: head, hand, bird, bed. Great listening!
The alphabet is full of amazing letters, and each one helps us read and write. Let’s keep learning from A to Z!
Letter D Hunt: Go on a letter D hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter D, like a doll, a door, or a drawing. Can you find at least three things? Once you find them, try to say the word and emphasize the /d/ sound at the beginning.
Draw and Decorate: On a piece of paper, draw a big uppercase D and a lowercase d. Use crayons, stickers, or any craft materials to decorate your letters. As you decorate, think of words that start with D and say them out loud. Can you make your D look like a duck or a donut?
Sound Detective: Be a sound detective and listen for the /d/ sound in conversations or stories. When you hear a word with the /d/ sound, raise your hand or clap. How many words can you find in a day? Share your findings with a friend or family member and see if they can add more words to your list.
