The Letter “S” with Shay the Snake

Let’s Learn About the Letter “S”!

Hello, friends! Today, we are going to have fun learning about a special letter. Can you guess which one? It’s the letter “S”! Let’s get started!

Making the “S” Sound

First, let’s make the sound of the letter “S.” It’s like a snake hissing. Can you say it with me? Sssss! Great job! Now, let’s say it a little louder. Sssss! Super!

Writing the Letter “S”

Now, let’s learn how to write the letter “S.” For the big “S,” we start by curving our pencil to the left and then to the right. It looks like a fish hook! For the small “s,” we start with a straight line up, then curve down with a little tail. It looks like an elf’s ear!

Words That Start with “S”

Let’s find some words that start with the letter “S.” The word “sun” starts with “S.” Can you think of another word? How about “salt”? Yes, “salt” starts with “S” too! And don’t forget “snake,” just like our friend Shay the Snake!

It’s easy! Repeat after me.

Let’s start writing the capital letter. We curve our pencil to the left here and to the right here. It looks like a fish hook.

The lowercase is different. We start here, go up with a straight line, and curve our pencil down, finishing with a little tail here. It looks like an elf’s ear.

Let’s look at the words!

In the word “sun,” the first letter is “s.”

So, what about “salt”? Which letter do we start with?

Stop with the salt; it might taste strange.

“Snake” starts with an “s.”
