Welcome to our lesson on reading letters! Today, we'll learn how to read four important letters in English: a, t, c, and h. These letters are building blocks for many words. Let's look at each letter and learn its sound.
Let's start with the letter 'a'. The letter 'a' makes the short 'a' sound, like in the words 'apple' and 'cat'. To make this sound, open your mouth wide, like you're about to bite into an apple, and make a short sound from your throat. Try saying 'a' as in 'apple' and 'cat'.
Now let's learn the letter 't'. The letter 't' makes the 't' sound, like in the words 'top' and 'table'. To make this sound, touch the tip of your tongue to the ridge behind your front teeth, and push air out quickly. It's a short, sharp sound. Try saying 't' as in 'top' and 'table'.
Let's learn the letter 'c'. The letter 'c' often makes the 'k' sound, like in the words 'cat' and 'cup'. To make this sound, the back of your tongue touches the roof of your mouth, and you push air out quickly. It's similar to the 'k' sound. Try saying 'c' as in 'cat' and 'cup'.
Finally, let's learn the letter 'h'. The letter 'h' makes the 'h' sound, like in the words 'hat' and 'house'. To make this sound, push air out of your mouth, as if you are gently breathing on a cold window. It's a soft, breathy sound. Try saying 'h' as in 'hat' and 'house'. Great job! You've now learned four important letters: a, t, c, and h. Practice saying these letters and their sounds.
