Welcome to learning the English alphabet! The English alphabet contains 26 letters. Each letter has two forms: uppercase, also called capital letters, and lowercase, also called small letters. The uppercase letters are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. The lowercase letters are a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z. Let's start learning them step by step!
Now let's learn the names of the first eight letters. Each letter has a specific name that we use when spelling words. A is pronounced "ay" like in the word "day". B is pronounced "bee" like the insect. C is pronounced "see" like with your eyes. D is pronounced "dee". E is pronounced "ee" like in "tree". F is pronounced "ef". G is pronounced "jee" like in "jeep". H is pronounced "aych". Practice saying these letter names: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.
Now let's learn letters I through P. I is pronounced "eye" like the body part you see with. J is pronounced "jay" like the bird. K is pronounced "kay". L is pronounced "el". M is pronounced "em". N is pronounced "en". O is pronounced "oh" like an exclamation. P is pronounced "pee". Let's practice these together: I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P. Notice how some letters sound like words you already know, which makes them easier to remember.
Now let's complete the alphabet with the final letters Q through Z. Q is pronounced "kyoo" like the letter Q in "queue". R is pronounced "ar". S is pronounced "es". T is pronounced "tee" like the drink. U is pronounced "yoo" like "you". V is pronounced "vee". W is pronounced "double-u" because it looks like two U's together. X is pronounced "eks". Y is pronounced "wy" like "why". And Z is pronounced "zee" in American English. Congratulations! You now know all 26 letters of the English alphabet!
Excellent work! Let's review the complete English alphabet one more time. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. You have now learned all 26 letters and their pronunciations! This is a huge achievement and the foundation for learning English. Remember to practice saying these letters every day. Listen to native English speakers and try to copy their pronunciation. Soon you'll be using these letters to spell and read English words. Keep practicing and you'll become more confident with English. Congratulations on completing your first step in learning English!
