Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about the first letter of the alphabet: the letter A.
Hi there! I’m the letter A, and I’m excited to tell you all about me. Do you know how to say my name? Let’s try it together!
Say “Ah!” Great job! Now, let’s try my other sound. Say “Hey!” Awesome!
Now, let’s learn how to write me! We’ll start with the big capital A. It’s easy! Draw one little stick going up, another going down, and then connect them in the middle. Look, it looks like a house!
Next, let’s try the small lowercase “a.” Make a circle and add a little tail. It looks like a ball of yarn! You can practice writing it with a pen and paper at home.
Let’s find some words that start with me, the letter A! How about “apple”? Yes, “apple” starts with A. So does “arm.” Can you think of another word? What about “ant”? Yes, “ant” starts with A too!
Now, let’s try some tricky words. They sound a little different. Listen carefully: “alien,” “air,” and “ape.” You did a great job!
After all that learning, let’s have some fun with a song! Have you met Alfred the Alligator? He’s a real agitator, always having fun with his animal friends!
You’ve done an amazing job learning about the letter A today! Keep practicing and have fun. You can watch more videos and learn even more by visiting the Smile and Learn channel. See you next time!
Letter A Hunt: Go on a letter A hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the letter A, like an apple, an apron, or an ant. How many things can you find? You can even draw pictures of the items you discover and share them with your friends or family.
Alphabet Art: Create a piece of art using the letter A. You can use crayons, markers, or paint to draw big and small letter A’s on a piece of paper. Try to make them look like different things, such as an alligator or an airplane. Let your imagination run wild and see what creative designs you can come up with!
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen for the letter A sounds in words around you. When you hear a word that starts with the “Ah” or “Ay” sound, raise your hand or make a fun noise like a clap. Try this activity during storytime or while watching a video. How many A words can you catch?
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. I can’t hear you.
Ah, great! Now here is my other sound. Repeat after me: “Hey!”
[Music]
I can’t hear you.
Hey! Great!
You can also write with me whenever you like. I can show you. Let’s start with the 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 ball of yarn. Try writing it at home with a pen and paper; it’s super easy!
Let’s try words. You can find me in “apple,” which starts with “A.” “Arm” also starts with “A.”
What about “ant”? What letter does it start with?
Hey, great job! Now let’s try something a little harder. How do you say these words? Careful, they sound different. Let me help you: “alien.”
[Applause]
[Music]
“Air.”
[Music]
“Ape.”
Well done! That was enough work for today. What do you say to a little singing?
Have you met Alfred the Alligator? Alfred the Alligator is a real agitator, all around the cap animals.
