ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Letter K | Letters and Letter Sounds | Learn Phonics with Khan Academy Kids
Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about making a kite with our friend Ollo. It’s a fun and simple activity that you can try at home. Let’s dive in!
Ollo is excited to make a kite for his friend Kodi. He wants to make it extra special by adding a letter K to it. Do you know why? It’s because the letter K makes the “kuh” sound, just like in the word “kite.” So, Kodi’s kite will have a big K on it!
As Ollo works on the kite, he teaches us something important about the letter K. It’s a cool letter that starts words like “kite” and “Kodi.” Whenever you hear the “kuh” sound at the beginning of a word, it might just be the letter K!
Now that you know how Ollo made a kite for Kodi, why not try making one yourself? You can decorate it with your favorite colors and maybe even add a letter that means something special to you. It’s a great way to learn and have fun at the same time!
So, grab some paper, string, and markers, and start creating your very own kite. Happy flying!
Sound Hunt: Go on a “Kuh” sound hunt around your house or classroom. Find objects that start with the “kuh” sound, just like the letter K. For example, you might find a key, a kite, or a kettle. Make a list of all the items you find and share it with your friends or family. How many “kuh” sound objects can you discover?
Kite Design Challenge: Create your own kite design using paper and crayons or markers. Think about what makes your kite special. Will you add a letter that is important to you, like Ollo did for Kodi? Maybe it’s the first letter of your name or a letter that starts your favorite word. Once you’ve designed your kite, explain to someone why you chose that letter and what it means to you.
Letter K Collage: Make a collage using magazine cutouts or drawings of things that start with the letter K. Glue them onto a piece of paper to create a colorful collection of “kuh” sound items. As you create your collage, think about how the letter K is used in different words and how it sounds. Share your collage with your class or family and see if they can name all the items you included.
