ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Letter V | Letters and Letter Sounds | Learn Phonics with Khan Academy Kids
Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about the letter V. The letter V makes a special sound, which is “vi” like in the word “violin.” Isn’t that cool?
Let’s talk about the violin. It’s a musical instrument that makes beautiful sounds. In the video, Sandy plays her violin, and it sounds amazing! Listening to the violin can be a lot of fun.
So, remember, the letter V makes the “vi” sound, just like in “violin.” Keep practicing, and you’ll get better at recognizing the sound of V in different words!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the “vi” sound, like “vase” or “van.” Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member and practice saying the words together.
Violin Craft: Create your own pretend violin using a small box and rubber bands. Stretch the rubber bands around the box to make strings. Pretend to play your violin and make up a song. Think about how the letter V and the “vi” sound are part of the word “violin” as you play.
V Sound Story: Write or tell a short story using as many “vi” words as you can. Start with “Once upon a time, a violin…” and see where your imagination takes you. Share your story with someone and ask them to listen for the “vi” sounds.
