Hi friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about some special letters. Let’s start with the letter “C” and see what it can do!
The letter “C” can sound different depending on the letters around it. When “C” is with an “o,” it sounds like in the words “cake,” “cow,” and “cup.” But when “C” is with “i” or “e,” it sounds like in “ice,” “city,” and “circle.” Isn’t that cool?
Here’s a secret: when “C” is next to the letter “k,” it sounds strong, like in “clock.” They make a great team!
Writing “C” is easy! Start at the top and make a curve to the left. It looks like a wave! Try making a smaller “C” the same way. Practice with a pen and paper at home!
Can you think of words that start with “C”? How about “color,” “cinema,” and “coffee”? Yum, coffee!
Now let’s meet the letter “F.” It makes a fun sound, like in “five,” “full,” and “thumb.” Can you say those words with me?
To write a big “F,” start at the top, draw a line down, and then two lines across. It looks like a flag! For a small “f,” start with a loop, curve at the top, go down, and make another loop. It looks like a seahorse!
What words start with “F”? “Fruit,” “flower,” and “flute” do! Let’s feel the music with “flute” and “fire.” So much fun!
Finally, let’s learn about the letter “Z.” It makes a zippy sound, like in “zoo,” “zumba,” and “zigzag.” Can you say those words?
To write a big “Z,” draw a line across, then down, and another line across. It looks like a trampoline! For a small “z,” start with a little line, go down, and finish with another line. It looks like a road!
Can you think of words that start with “Z”? “Zoo,” “zumba,” and “zone” do! Let’s dance like zebras at the zoo!
Great job learning about “C,” “F,” and “Z”! Keep practicing, and you’ll be a letter expert in no time. Remember, there are many more letters to explore, so keep learning and having fun!
Letter Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your house or classroom! Find objects that start with the letters “C,” “F,” and “Z.” For example, look for a “cup” for “C,” a “fork” for “F,” and a “zipper” for “Z.” Can you find at least two objects for each letter? Share your findings with a friend or family member and practice saying the words together.
Letter Art: Create a piece of art using the letters “C,” “F,” and “Z.” Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw pictures of things that start with each letter. For example, draw a “cake” for “C,” a “flower” for “F,” and a “zebra” for “Z.” Display your artwork at home or in the classroom and explain your drawings to others.
Story Time with Letters: Make up a short story using words that start with “C,” “F,” and “Z.” For example, “Once upon a time, a curious cat found a funny flute at the zoo.” Share your story with a friend or family member and see if they can come up with their own story using the same letters. This activity helps you practice using the sounds of the letters in a fun and creative way!

Hi friends! Today we’ll meet and learn some things about me.
Let’s start with how I’m pronounced. I can sound different depending on the letters around me. When I’m with an “o,” my sound is hard. Listen to words like “cake,” “cow,” and “cup.”
Then, when I’m with “i” or “ei,” I sound like this: “ice,” “city,” “circle.”
Congrats, you’ve got it!
Okay, I’ve also got a secret. Shh! Come closer. When my friend letter “k” is next to me, it keeps me sounding strong. We’re a great team together!
Congrats! [Applause]
[Music]
Now, let’s check out how to write me. It’s super easy! We start up here and curve carefully to the left like this. Cool! There you go. Oh, it looks like a wave!
Now let’s try smaller caps. It’s the same but smaller. We start the same way, curve it, and done! Try at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!
Let’s look at where I am in color. It starts with “c.” What’s your favorite color? The first letter in “cinema” is “c.” I bet you like the cinema!
What about coffee? What letter does it start with? “C.” A cup of coffee for me, please!
Have a look at this word: “cook.”
Hello, Carlos! Can’t wait to eat your food. See you later!
[Music]
Time for singing!
[Music]
Carlos bakes my favorite cakes with cups.

[Applause]
Hi everyone! I’m here to present letter “f.”
Hi friends! Let’s learn about me, letter “f.” Let’s train those ears to my sound. Repeat it to me!
[Music]
[Applause]
Can’t hear you!
When I’m with vowels, I sound like this. Repeat after me: “five,” “full,” “thumb.”
[Music]
Fantastic!
Now let’s learn how to write me. Let’s start with the capital letter. It’s easy! We start up here and make a line downwards, then two lines across. One here, another one here. Terrific!
Look, I look like a flag!
[Music]
Now let’s try the smaller caps. Let’s figure this out. We start here to make a loop upwards, then at the top, we curve a little and head down right. At the bottom, there’s another curve, and we make a new loop. Fabulous!
Funny, I look like a seahorse! Try at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!
[Applause]
Now let’s look at the words I’m in. The first letter in the word “fruit” is “f.” Yum! Fruits are fantastic!
“Flower” also starts with “f.” I love the smell of fresh flowers!
What about “flute”? What letter does it start with?
Let’s feel the music! “Fire” is another one that starts with “f.”
Okay, enough work! Let’s start that beat!
[Music]
[Applause]
Hello friends! Today I present the last letter in the alphabet. Let us say…
[Music]
So nice to see you! I’m “z.” Would you like to learn things about me?
[Music]
Let’s start with my sound. Repeat after me!
I can’t hear you!
Thanks!
[Music]
[Applause]
Now let’s have a look at how to write me. Like this: we start here, draw a straight line over here, now we’re lying down and back here, and the last thing is another line to the right again.
What do you think I look like this time?
I know, a trampoline!
Now let’s try the smaller cap. We draw up a little, then draw over here, go down here, and finish over there.
So well done! Great! Now I look like a road.
Try at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!
Now let’s look at words I’m in. “Zoo” starts with the letter “z.”
Have you seen all the animals?
[Music]
“Zumba” also starts with “z.”
Whoa! Zoe is a good dancer!
How many “z’s” are in the word “zigzag”? One and two!
Super!
What about “zone”? What letter does it start with?
“Z.” Yes! Good job!
Zoe, want to come and dance?
[Music]
So, with Zumba class, it’s new! It is happening at the zoo. Zebras dancing like they’re crazy, but the pandas are too lazy.
