ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Letter H | Letters and Letter Sounds | Learn Phonics with Khan Academy Kids
Howdy, young learners! Today, we’re going on an exciting adventure with Ollo the Cowboy to explore the letter H. Get ready to saddle up and discover the sound that this letter makes!
Ollo, our friendly cowboy, is here to help us understand the letter H. This letter is special because it makes a unique sound, like a gentle breath. Imagine the sound you hear at the beginning of the word “horse.” That’s the /h/ sound!
To master the letter H, it’s important to practice making its sound. You can try saying words like “hat,” “house,” and “happy.” Notice how your breath flows out smoothly as you pronounce the /h/ sound at the start of these words.
Ollo loves to have fun while learning, and he encourages you to do the same. As you practice the letter H, think of exciting things like horses galloping across the plains or a cowboy saying “Howdy!” with a big smile.
So, next time you see the letter H, remember Ollo the Cowboy and the sound it makes. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be an expert at recognizing and using the letter H in your words!
Yee-haw! Happy learning!
H Sound Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letter H. Can you find a hat, a hammer, or maybe even a horse toy? Once you find an item, say its name out loud and listen for the /h/ sound at the beginning. How many H objects can you find?
H Sound Art: Create a collage using pictures from magazines or drawings of things that start with the letter H. You can include images like a house, a helicopter, or a hamburger. As you create your collage, practice saying each word and emphasize the /h/ sound. Display your artwork to remind you of the letter H and its sound.
Storytime with Ollo: Imagine a short story where Ollo the Cowboy goes on an adventure. What happens when he meets a horse or finds a hidden treasure in a house? Draw a picture of your story and share it with a friend or family member. As you tell your story, focus on using words that start with the letter H and practice saying the /h/ sound clearly.
