Vowels and Numbers: Fun Ways to Learn!

Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about letters and numbers. Let’s start with the first letter of the alphabet: the letter A!

Meet the Letter A

Hi, I’m A! Can you say my name? Repeat after me: A. Great job! I have another sound too. Can you say it? I! Awesome!

Let’s learn how to write me. For a big A, draw one stick this way, another stick that way, and connect them in the middle. It looks like a house! For a small ‘a’, draw a circle and add a little tail. It looks like a ball of yarn!

Can you find me in words? I’m in “apple,” “arm,” and “ant.” Great job finding me!

Sing Along with Alfred the Alligator

You’ve learned so much about vowels and numbers today! Keep practicing and have fun learning. See you next time!

  1. Can you think of other words that start with the letters A, E, I, O, or U? Try to find one word for each letter and share it with your friends or family!
  2. When you count from one to ten, what is your favorite number and why? Is there something special about that number for you?
  3. Do you have a favorite song or rhyme that helps you remember the letters or numbers? Can you teach it to someone else and sing it together?
  1. Vowel Hunt: Go on a vowel hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the vowels A, E, I, O, and U. For example, you might find an apple for A, an egg for E, and so on. Can you find at least one object for each vowel? Share your findings with a friend or family member!

  2. Number Adventure: Create a number adventure story using your toys. Line up your toys and count them from one to ten, just like Suki the Cookie. As you count, make up a fun story about what each toy is doing. For example, “One teddy bear is having a picnic, two cars are racing,” and so on. Share your story with your classmates or family!

  3. Vowel Art: Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to draw pictures of things that start with each vowel. For example, draw an ant for A, an elephant for E, and so on. Try to use different colors for each vowel. Once you’re done, show your artwork to your teacher or friends and explain what each picture represents!

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

[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: A. I can’t hear you. Ah, great! Now, where is my other sound? Repeat after me: I. Hey, I hear you! Great!

You can also write with me whenever you like. I can show you! Let’s start with a 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. 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. “Pool” and “arm” also start with an 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,” “air,” “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.

[Music]

One great cookie named Suki rolls around the ground, not making a sound. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Two young boys watch the cookie go; they follow right behind, but they’re moving slow. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Three small robots want a bit of fun; they see the cookie rolling and begin to run. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Four young dinos follow close behind; they want to see the cookie and promise to be kind. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Five silly girls want to scare them all, floating right behind, hoping they will fall. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Six cool wizards see them coming close; all their clothes are ruined, mud up to their nose. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Seven curious witches watch from the sky; one is so distracted, she forgets to fly. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Eight dizzy bees fly around confused; we follow with the wings, feeling a bit bruised. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Nine blue birds see the biscuit roll; a crazy situation out of her control. Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

Ten friendly aliens rescue our pursuit; what a great adventure for a little cookie! Follow her along this crazy number song, counting one to ten and repeat again.

[Music]

Hi everyone! Today I’m thrilled to present the letter E.

[Applause]

That’s me, the letter E! I’m the second vowel; I’m sure you’ve seen me around. Okay, let’s learn how to pronounce me. I’m tricky because I have two different ways I like to be read.

Let’s try this way first: repeat after me. Now, if I’m with a friend, together we will sound like this. Get ready: E! Louder!

[Applause]

You can also write with me whenever you like; I’ll show you! Let’s start with the capital letters. It’s just four little lines: one longer vertical line, another horizontal line up here, one in the center, and the last one down here. Well done! Oh, whoa, it looks like a fork!

Okay, now let’s try the lowercase. This is a little harder, but we’ll get it; you’ll see. We draw a short little line over here, and then we start our circle till here. Careful! If you look carefully, it looks like a cat. Try writing it with a pen and paper; it’s easy!

Let’s look at some words. I’m in “egg,” which starts with the letter E. Careful with those eggs! “Engine” also starts with the letter E. Start the engines! What about “elbow”? What’s the first letter in the word “elbow”? Yes, well done! Can you lick your elbow?

Now let’s try a little harder. Do you know how to say these words? Careful, they sound different. Let me help you: “feet,” “sheep,” “sleep.” Excellent!

Okay, that’s enough work for today. What do you say to a little singing?

Have you met the elephant?

[Music]

The elephant went down the shed; he went too fast and bumped his head. A little head with Jerry Red; all he wanted was his friend.

[Applause]

Hello, I’m the number monster! Do you want to learn to count? Pay attention: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten.

Let’s try a little bit slower. This is number one; there is one cookie. Mmm, so delicious! This is number two; here there are two kids: one and two.

Here we have number three; there are three robots: one, two, and three. This is number four; there are four dinosaurs: one, two, three, and four.

This one here is number five; there are five ghosts: one, two, three, four, and five. And here we have number six; there are six wizards: one, two, three, four, five, and six.

This is number seven; there are seven flying witches: one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven.

Number eight is this one here; there are eight bees: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.

[Music]

This is number nine; there are nine birds: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine.

The last one that we’re going to learn is number ten; there are ten aliens: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten.

Hi friends! Today it’s time to show you the letter I.

Hi, I’m I, the third vowel. I’m pretty sure you’ve seen me around a few times. Have you heard my sound? I’m guessing you have. I have two ways you can pronounce me.

Let’s try this first: I’m sure you can guess. I can’t hear you. Nice! Good! Now let’s try the second way: I can’t hear you. Oh yes, good!

I’m lucky; my letter is easy to write. Let’s try the capital letter. We just need to make a long line and a short one here and here. There you go! Look, it’s like a set of weights! Cool, right?

You can also write me in lower case; it’s really easy. We draw a short line downwards, and at the end, we curve it up to the right. Don’t forget the dot! Well done! Look, now it looks like a shrimp. Try at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!

Let’s have a look at words. I’m in “ice.” Yikes, it’s cold! What about “iguana”? What does it start with? I! Incredible!

[Music]

“Ink” also starts with I. Yes, good!

Okay, now a little harder. These words are a little bit difficult because they sound different. You ready? “I learned,” “iron,” “ice cream.”

[Applause]

Okay, last question: how many I’s are in the word “Indian”? Let me help you: one and two. Well done! Bye, Iggy! See you later!

Okay, that’s enough work for today. Singing time! Remember, Iggy!

[Music]

The biggest trend is building gold, big and shiny, but too cold in the shiny bit. Too cold, Iggy!

[Applause]

Hi! I’m the number monster, and I will teach you how to write the numbers. Let’s start! Here we go: up and now down. What number is this? Number one! Great!

Let’s see if you can figure out the next one. Let’s make a curve like this, and when we get to the bottom, we make a straight line to the right. What number is there? Perfect!

Make this number like this: small curve here and another similar curve here. Can you figure out this number? Number three!

Let’s do another one: a straight line here, then the next one here, and then to finish, one from here down. What number is this? Yes!

Let’s do another one: a straight line towards the left, a straight line down, and now a curve like this. And this number, do you know it? What number is this? Number four! Very good!

Let’s see if you know this one. We start here, then go downward, and we finish it by making a little circle. Which one’s this? Very good!

The next number has straight lines: one here, one that goes down here, and lastly, the small one that goes here. Now, do you know what this one is? Number seven!

Yes! Let’s look at this one here. We make a small curve, then another one this way, and then we go up and do the same thing. And this number is number eight!

That’s it! For the next number, we have to make a circle up here, and when we finish that, we go straight down. What number is it? Number nine! Very good!

And for the last one, we make one like we did before, but then we add a zero to the right. We start here and make a circle. What number is this? Number ten! Very good! Yay! Well done! Now you can write the numbers. See you later!

How’s it going? Today I present the letter O.

Hello, my friends! I’m letter O. I’ve been told to talk today.

Okay, my sound is easy. Repeat after me: O. I hear you!

Oh, okay! But wait! If I’m with a friend, together we make different sounds. Repeat after me: O!

[Music]

I know it’s strange! Again!

[Music]

Good job!

[Applause]

I’m so easy to write; just make a circle. Look like this: you start up here, make a semi-circle downwards, and back up. Done! I look like a basketball!

Now let’s go with the small caps; it’s very similar but smaller. There you go! Here I look more like a tennis ball. Try it at home with pen and paper; it’s very easy!

I’ll show you some words. I’m in “oyster.” Oysters live in the sea.

[Music]

“October” starts with an O.

[Music]

What about this one? What letter does it start with? Oh, good job! We get olives from a tree. I love them!

Now a little bit harder: two always together sound different. Can you guess? “Balloon,” “spoon.”

Let’s get a beat! Give us a hand!

[Music]

Dolly with a big…

[Music]

[Applause]

Ladies and gentlemen, the last vowel: letter U!

[Applause]

I’m so sorry; I think U is late as usual. Oh wait, there you are!

[Applause]

Hello guys! I seem to be running late. I’m little U. Let me tell you about me.

Let’s start with my sound; I have two of them. Let’s try this first:

[Music]

I can’t hear you!

[Music]

Unreal!

Now let’s try my other sound:

[Music]

Can’t hear you!

[Music]

You got it!

[Applause]

Now let’s try how to write me. Draw a long line down, curve it on the bottom, and draw a line up. Yup, that’s it! It looks like a magnet!

The small cap is similar but with a little tail. Look, I’ll show you! We draw a line downwards, curve it at the bottom, and draw a line up. And right at the end, we make a tail here. Good job! It looks like a sloth!

Try it at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!

I’ll show you words. I’m in “universe,” which starts with U. It’s huge, isn’t it? The first letter in “uniform” is also U. Do you wear a uniform?

[Music]

“Urgent” also starts with U.

What about these words? It’s my other sound! Remember, I can help you: “upstairs,” “umbrella.”

[Applause]

“Uncle.”

Oh, good! Fantastic!

Let’s sing so you remember me!

Oh, Rick, are you there? Come and sing with me!

[Music]

I’m U!

[Applause]
