ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Letter Q | Letters and Letter Sounds | Learn Phonics with Khan Academy Kids
Hey there! Today, we’re going to have some fun learning about the letter Q. Our friend Reya is dressed up as a queen, and she’s here to help us understand the special sound that the letter Q makes.
The word “queen” starts with a unique sound: qwa. Can you say it with me? Qwa, qwa, queen! Isn’t that fun? The letter Q often makes this qwa sound, and it’s important to remember it when you’re learning new words.
Now that you know the qwa sound, you can become a word explorer! Try to find other words that start with the letter Q and make the same sound. Maybe you can think of “quack” like a duck or “quick” like a fast runner. Keep practicing, and you’ll become a Q expert in no time!
Remember, learning letters and their sounds is super important because it helps us read and write. So, have fun exploring the world of words with Reya and the letter Q!
Q Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects or pictures that start with the Q sound, like “quilt” or “quarter.” Can you find at least three items? Draw a picture of each item you find and practice saying the Q sound with each one.
Q Craft Time: Create your own Q-themed crown! Cut out a crown shape from a piece of paper. Decorate it with drawings or stickers of things that start with the Q sound, like “queen,” “quail,” or “quilt.” Wear your crown and practice saying the Q words you decorated it with.
Q Story Time: Make up a short story using as many Q words as you can. For example, “Queen Quilla quickly quilted a quilt for her quacking duck.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can spot all the Q words you used!
