Let’s Learn About the Letter A!

Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about the first letter of the alphabet: the letter A.

Meet 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!

Writing the Letter A

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.

Words with A

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!

Tricky Words

Now, let’s try some tricky words. They sound a little different. Listen carefully: “alien,” “air,” and “ape.” You did a great job!

Sing Along with A

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!

[Music]

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.
