ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Learn the letter “A” with Alfred the Alligator – Learning the alphabet – Phonics For Kids
Today, we’re going to learn about the first letter of the alphabet: the letter A. Are you ready to have some fun with me? Let’s get started!
Say “Hello” to the letter A! Can you say it with me? A! Great job! Now, let’s try another sound it makes: A! Awesome!
Let’s learn how to write the letter A. We’ll start with the big A, also called the capital A. Draw one line going up, another line going down, and a line across the middle. It looks like a little house!
Now, let’s try the small ‘a’, or lowercase ‘a’. Draw a circle and add a little tail. It looks like a bowl of yarn! You can practice writing it at home with a pen and paper. It’s fun!
Let’s find some words that start with A. How about “apple”? Yes, apple starts with A. And “arm” starts with A too. Ouch, you hurt my arm! What about “ant”? That’s right, ant starts with A!
Now, let’s try some tricky words. Listen carefully: Alien, air, ape. You did it! Those words sound different, but they all have the letter A.
Now it’s time for some singing! Meet Alfred the Alligator. He’s a funny alligator who loves to sing and play. Let’s sing together!
You’ve learned so much about the letter A today! Keep practicing and have fun. You can watch more videos and learn new things every day. See you next time!
Alphabet Hunt: Go on an “A” adventure around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter A, like an apple, an apron, or an ant toy. Can you find at least three things? Draw a picture of each item you find and practice writing the word next to it. This will help you remember the sound and shape of the letter A.
Letter A Art: Create a collage using the letter A. Cut out pictures from magazines or draw your own pictures of things that start with A. Glue them onto a big paper shaped like the letter A. You can also decorate it with stickers or glitter to make it colorful and fun. Show your collage to a friend and tell them about each item you included.
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen for the “A” sound in words. Ask a family member or teacher to say different words, and you can clap your hands when you hear a word that starts with the letter A. Try to think of more words on your own and share them with your class or family. How many can you find?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello everyone! Today we’re going to talk about the first letter of the alphabet: the letter A. Hi, I’m A, and I’ve come to tell you a little bit about me. But first things first, do you know how to read me?
Okay, repeat after me: A. I can’t hear you! Great! Now here is my other sound. Repeat after me: A. I can’t hear you! Great!
You can also write with me whenever you like. I can show you! Let’s start with a capital letter; it’s easier. We draw one little stick this way, another that way, and right in the middle, we join them together. Good job! Look, it’s like a house.
Okay, let’s give the lowercase ‘a’ a go. We make a circle and add a little tail, and just like that, good job! It looks like a bowl of yarn. Try writing it at home with a pen and paper; it’s super easy!
Let’s try some words you can find me in: apple starts with ‘a’, and arm also starts with ‘a’. Ah, you hurt my arm! What about ant? What letter does it start with? A! Great job!
Now let’s try something a little harder. How do you say these words? Careful, they sound different. Let me help you:
[Applause][Music]
