Hey there! Are you ready to go on a fun adventure with the alphabet? The alphabet is like a special set of letters that help us read and write. Let’s learn all about it from A to Z!
Today, we’re going to meet a special letter called P. The letter P is a consonant, and it has two different looks: uppercase and lowercase.
Let’s look at the uppercase P. It stands tall and proud! Can you write an uppercase P in the air with me? Here’s how:
Great job! Now you know how to write an uppercase P.
Now, let’s look at the lowercase p. It looks a little different. Let’s try writing it in the air:

The letter P makes a special sound. Can you hear it? It sounds like this: /p/ /p/ /p/ /p/. Let’s say it together: /p/ /p/ /p/ /p/.
Now, let’s listen for the P sound in some words. At the beginning of these words, you can hear the P sound:

Isn’t learning about the alphabet fun? The more you practice, the better you’ll get at reading and writing. Let’s keep going and learn all the letters from A to Z!
P Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your house or classroom. Can you find objects that start with the letter P? Listen carefully for the /p/ sound. Try to find at least three items. Share what you found with your friends or family!
Letter P Art: Create a piece of art using the letter P. You can draw or cut out pictures of things that start with P, like a penguin or a pumpkin, and glue them onto a big letter P. This will help you remember the sound and shape of the letter P.
Story Time with P: Make up a short story using as many P words as you can. For example, “Once upon a time, a playful penguin found a purple pumpkin.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can hear all the P words!
