ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Letter E | Letters and Letter Sounds | Learn Phonics with Khan Academy Kids
Today, we’re going to learn about a special letter in the alphabet: the letter E! It’s a fun letter that you can find in many words. Let’s explore it together!
First, let’s look at how the letter E appears. There’s the big E, which we call the uppercase E, and the small e, known as the lowercase e. Both are important and used in different places when we write.
The letter E makes a sound like “eh.” Can you say it? It’s the same sound you hear at the beginning of the word “egg.” Try saying “egg” and listen for the “eh” sound at the start.
Imagine cracking open an egg and hearing the sound it makes. That’s a fun way to remember the sound of E! The letter E is everywhere, and now you know how to spot it and say its sound.
Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be an expert at recognizing and using the letter E in words!
Letter E Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letter E. Can you find an egg, an envelope, or an eraser? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. This will help you see how common the letter E is in everyday life!
Sound Match Game: Gather some small objects or pictures of things that start with different letters. Mix them up and try to sort out the ones that start with the “eh” sound of the letter E. For example, you might have a picture of an elephant or an egg. This game will help you practice listening for the E sound.
Create an E Collage: Cut out pictures from magazines or draw your own pictures of things that start with the letter E. Glue them onto a piece of paper to create a collage. Share your collage with a friend or family member and explain why each picture belongs in your E collage. This activity will help you connect the letter E to real-world objects.
