Hi friends! Welcome to our Phonics Adventure! Today, we're going to meet a very special letter! Look! This is the letter A! This is Big A, and this is little a. Can you say 'A'? Yay! A!
Every letter makes a sound! The letter A makes the sound /æ/. It sounds like you're saying 'ah' when you see something yummy, but shorter! /æ/! Can you make the /æ/ sound? Let's try together! /æ/! /æ/! /æ/!
What starts with the /æ/ sound? An apple! /æ/ /æ/ apple! Yummy apple! How about this little guy? An ant! /æ/ /æ/ ant! Go, little ant!
Wow! A big alligator! /æ/ /æ/ alligator! Be careful of the alligator! Look up! An astronaut! /æ/ /æ/ astronaut! To the moon, astronaut!
Wow, we learned all about the letter A and the /æ/ sound! Let's remember: /æ/! /æ/! /æ/! What were our A words? Apple, ant, alligator, astronaut! You are doing so well! Keep practicing your A words! See you next time for another letter adventure! Bye-bye!
