ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English My First Letters – Consonant Letter Sounds – Letter C and Z
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn about the letter “C.” The letter “C” is special because it can make different sounds. When “C” is with an “o,” it sounds like “cake,” “cow,” and “cup.” But when “C” is with “i” or “e,” it sounds like “ice,” “city,” and “circle.” Isn’t that fun?
Here’s a secret: when “C” is next to the letter “k,” they make a strong sound together. They are a great team!
Let’s learn how to write the letter “C.” Start at the top and make a curve to the left. It looks like a wave! Now, let’s try writing a smaller “C.” It’s the same, just smaller. You can practice at home with a pen and paper. It’s super easy!
Can you think of words that start with “C”? How about “color”? What’s your favorite color? The word “cinema” also starts with “C.” Do you like going to the cinema? And what about “coffee”? It starts with “C” too!
Look at the word “cook.” Hello, Carlos! We can’t wait to eat your yummy food!
Now, let’s learn about the last letter in the alphabet: the letter “Z.” It’s so nice to meet you, “Z!”
Let’s see how to write the letter “Z.” Start here and draw a straight line across, then go down and back across. It looks like a zigzag or a trampoline!
Now, let’s try a smaller “Z.” Draw a little line up, then across, down, and finish with a line over. Great job! It looks like a road. You can try this at home too!
Can you think of words that start with “Z”? “Zoo” is one! Have you seen all the animals at the zoo?
“Zumba” starts with “Z” too. Zory is a great dancer! How many “Z’s” are in “zigzag”? There are two! And what about “zone”? It starts with “Z” as well!
Zoey, do you want to come and dance? The Zumba class is new at the zoo. Zebras are dancing, but the pandas are too lazy!
You’ve just learned about the letters “C” and “Z,” but there are many more letters to discover! Keep watching more videos to learn about them and have fun with new adventures!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Listen carefully and find objects that start with the letter “C” or “Z.” Can you find a “cup” or a “zebra” toy? Share what you find with your friends or family and practice saying the words out loud. This will help you remember the different sounds that “C” and “Z” make!
Letter Craft: Create a fun craft using the letters “C” and “Z.” For “C,” you can make a colorful collage by cutting out pictures from magazines that start with “C” and gluing them onto a large paper “C.” For “Z,” draw a zigzag pattern and decorate it with stickers or glitter. Display your artwork at home or in the classroom to remind you of the sounds and shapes of these letters.
Story Time: With a grown-up, read a storybook that has lots of words starting with “C” and “Z.” As you read, listen for the “C” and “Z” sounds. Can you spot them? After reading, try to retell the story using your own words and emphasize the “C” and “Z” words. This will help you practice recognizing and using these sounds in sentences.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hi friends! Today we’ll meet and learn some things about me, like how I’m pronounced. I have a unique sound that can change depending on the letters around me. When I’m with an “o,” my sound is hard, like in the words “cake,” “cow,” and “cup.” But when I’m with “i” or “ei,” I sound like this: “ice,” “city,” and “circle.” Great job!
I also have a secret! When my friend letter “k” is next to me, it keeps me sounding strong. Together, we make a great team!

Now, let’s check out how to write me. It’s super easy! We start at the top and curve carefully to the left. There you go! Oh, it looks like a wave. Now let’s try writing in smaller letters. It’s the same but smaller. Start the same way, curve it, and don’t forget to try at home with pen and paper. It’s super easy!
