Hello, little learners! Today, we are going to have fun with the letter ‘E’. Are you ready? Let’s go!
The letter ‘E’ makes a special sound. Let’s say it together: e e e e e. Great job! Can you hear how it sounds?
Now, let’s think of some words that start with the ‘E’ sound. How about “elephant”? Let’s say it together: elephant, elephant, elephant. Can you imagine a big, friendly elephant with a long trunk?
Another word is “egg”. Let’s say it: egg, egg, egg. Eggs are yummy and can be cooked in many ways. Have you ever helped make scrambled eggs?
Let’s practice the ‘E’ sound some more. Say it with me: e e e e e. You’re doing amazing!
Can you find things around you that start with the ‘E’ sound? Maybe an eraser or an envelope? Ask a grown-up to help you look!
Remember, learning sounds is like a fun game. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a sound expert!
Thanks for learning with me today. See you next time for more fun with letters!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the ‘E’ sound. Can you find an eraser, an envelope, or maybe even an eggplant? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member and practice saying the ‘E’ sound together.
Egg-citing Experiment: With the help of a grown-up, try a simple egg experiment. Take a raw egg and a boiled egg. Can you guess which one is which just by looking at them? Now, gently spin each egg on a flat surface. Which one spins better? Why do you think that is? Talk about your observations and how the word “egg” starts with the ‘E’ sound.
Elephant Ears Craft: Create your own elephant ears using paper plates or construction paper. Cut out large ear shapes and decorate them with crayons or markers. Once your ears are ready, wear them and pretend to be an elephant. Practice making the ‘E’ sound as you stomp around like a big, friendly elephant. Can you think of other animals or objects that start with the ‘E’ sound?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Let’s listen and repeat the ‘e’ sound: e e e e e e e e elephant elephant elephant e e elephant e e elephant e e elephant e e e e e e e e egg egg egg e e egg e e egg e e e e e e e e e e.”
