share us on:

In today’s lesson, we explored the letters B, M, and P, learning their sounds and how to write them. We practiced writing big and small versions of each letter, associating them with fun words like “baby,” “motorbike,” and “pear.” The lesson encouraged creativity and engagement, inviting students to think of additional words that start with these letters while emphasizing the joy of learning.
  1. What sound does the letter B make?
  2. Can you tell me how to write a big B?
  3. What are some words that start with the letter P?

Let’s Learn About the Letter B!

Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about the letter B. Are you ready? Let’s start by saying the sound of B. Great job! Now, let’s learn how to write it.

To write a big B, we draw a line down and then make two big bellies. One, two! The second belly is a little bigger. Yay, you did it!

For a small b, we draw a line down and give it one belly. It’s like a little lemur! You can try this at home with a pen and paper.

The letter B is in words like “baby,” “boat,” and “broccoli.” Can you think of any other words with B? You’re doing amazing!

Meet the Letter M!

Now, let’s learn about the letter M. Say the sound of M with me. Awesome! Let’s see how to write it.

For a big M, we start at the bottom, go up, down to the middle, up again, and down. It looks like a hammock!

For a small m, we start down, go up, make a little hill, and then another hill. It looks like hills, doesn’t it?

The letter M is in words like “motorbike,” “mountain,” and “monster.” How many M’s are in “mummy”? One, two, three! Great counting!

Introducing the Letter P!

Let’s meet the letter P. Can you say the sound of P? Perfect! Now, let’s write it.

For a big P, we draw a line up and make a curve to the right. It looks like a koala tree!

For a small p, we start at the top, go down, and make a little curve. It looks like a fishing rod!

The letter P is in words like “pear,” “pizza,” and “popcorn.” Yum! Can you think of more P words?

Keep Learning and Having Fun!

You’ve learned about B, M, and P today. There are so many more letters to discover! Keep practicing and have fun with your letters. See you next time!

  • Can you think of a word that starts with the letter B that you see or use every day? Why do you think that word is important to you?
  • What is your favorite word that starts with the letter M, and can you draw a picture of it? Share your drawing with someone and explain why you chose that word.
  • Imagine you are going on a picnic. What items would you bring that start with the letter P? Can you describe how you would use them during your picnic?
  1. Letter Hunt: Go on a letter B hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the letter B, like a ball, book, or banana. Can you find at least three things? Draw a picture of each item you find and try to write the word next to it. This will help you remember the sound and shape of the letter B!

  2. Baking with B: With the help of an adult, make a simple recipe that starts with the letter B, like banana bread or blueberry muffins. As you bake, say the word “B” every time you add an ingredient. This will make learning fun and delicious!

  3. Story Time with B: Listen to a story or read a book where the main character’s name starts with B, like “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” After the story, draw your favorite part and try to write a sentence about it using words that start with B. This will help you practice writing and using your imagination!

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript:

Hello, everybody! Today, I’m presenting the first consonant in the alphabet: the letter B. [Applause]

Brilliant introduction! How are you all? It’s time to begin with the letter B. Let’s see how to pronounce it. Brilliant! Now, let’s show you how to write it. It’s easy, don’t worry!

We draw a line downward, and now we need to draw two big bellies—one, two. This one has to be bigger. Bam! You’ve done it! It looks like a little… [Music]

Let’s try the smaller caps. You start by making a line down and give it a belly right here. Brilliant! Look, it’s like a lemur! Try at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!

I am in a bunch of words like “baby.” This is “baby B.” See you later, B! The first letter in the word “boat” is a B. Have you ever been on a boat?

“Broccoli”—which letter does it start with? It’s B! You’re so good! [Music]

“Bike” is another word with B. Be careful on that bike! So much fun! How about a beautiful song? Let’s try to help him sleep.

Oh boy, this baby doesn’t like slow songs. Let’s try something a little more fun! [Music]

[Applause]

Good morning, everyone! Today, I’m going to present the letter M. [Applause]

My name is U. I’m here to tell you a little bit about me. Let’s learn how to pronounce it. Okay, repeat after me—maybe a bit louder! [Music]

Magnificent! Now let’s try to write it. We start down here and make a straight line up. Now we come down to the middle, up again, and back down. Good job! It looks like a hammock.

M in smaller caps is very similar. Let’s try! Let’s start here and go down, then back up on the same line, turn to the right, down, and stop. Up and down again. Can you see some hills? Magical! [Applause]

Let’s see some words I’m in. “Motorbike” starts with an M. [Music]

“Mountain” also starts with an M. What about “monster”? What letter does it start with? My, you’re good! See you soon, Monster Mike!

Now let’s count how many M’s are in the word “mummy.” One, two, and three! Well done!

Music time! Mike, we need you for this! Monster Mike rides his bike. [Music]

Miles away! [Music]

Hello, everyone! Today, I present to you the letter P. [Applause]

Hi! I’m P. I have a perfect pitch, don’t you think? First, you need to get my sound right. It’s like this: [Music]

Louder! [Music]

Perfect! Now let’s get back to the writing part. First, as a capital letter, let’s start down here and draw a line upwards. Then we curve it up to the right and tuck it in right here. There you go! It looks like a koala tree.

Now let’s try the smaller caps. It’s the same but smaller. We start up here and go downwards, now up, and we go to the top and draw a curve on the right. Pretty nice! Oh, it looks like a fishing rod! [Applause]

Let’s look at words I’m in. “Pear” starts with P. I love pears, don’t you?

“Pizza” also starts with P. Did you know pizza came from Italy? [Music]

Yum! What does “popcorn” start with? P! Perfection!

“Penguin” also starts with P. Say, you’re in a bit! I think we’ve got it down, don’t you?

Singing time! [Music]
