The letter R is a special friend in the alphabet. When you see it, remember that it makes the “rrr” sound. Try saying it out loud: “rrr.” Great job! This sound is important because it helps us say words correctly.
Let’s think of some words that start with the letter R. How about “rat”? Can you hear the “rrr” sound at the beginning? There are lots of other words too, like “rabbit,” “rain,” and “rocket.” Each of these words starts with the letter R, making that fun “rrr” sound.
Now it’s time to practice! You can try writing the letter R on a piece of paper. Start with a straight line down, then add a little curve at the top, and finish with a slanted line coming out from the middle. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a pro at writing and recognizing the letter R.
Learning letters is an exciting adventure, and you’re doing an amazing job. Keep practicing the letter R and try to find it in books, signs, and even on TV. The more you practice, the better you’ll get. Remember, learning is fun, and you’re doing great!
