That was so much fun! Exercising with letter sounds helps us learn to read and write. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a superstar reader in no time!

  • What was your favorite letter exercise from the video, and why did you like it? Can you show us how you did it?
  • Can you think of other words that start with the same sounds as the letters we learned today? Let’s make a list together!
  • How do you feel when you combine moving and learning? Do you have other activities where you learn and move at the same time?
  1. Letter Sound Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letters A to Z. For example, find an apple for ‘A’, a book for ‘B’, and a cup for ‘C’. Once you find an object, say the letter, the sound it makes, and the name of the object. This will help you connect the letter sounds with real-world items!

  2. Create Your Own Letter Sound Dance: Make up a dance move for each letter sound from A to Z. For example, you can jump for ‘J’, kick for ‘K’, or spin for ‘S’. Perform your dance moves while saying the letter and its sound. This activity will help you remember the sounds by associating them with fun movements!

  3. Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen carefully to the sounds around you. Can you hear the letter sounds in words people say or in the sounds of nature? For example, listen for the ‘B’ sound in “bird” or the ‘W’ sound in “wind”. Share what you discover with a friend or family member!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
