Welcome to our English lesson! Today we will learn about the letter A. The letter A is pronounced as /eɪ/. Let's look at some words that start with A: an and apple. An apple is a delicious red fruit that we can eat.
Now let's practice writing the letter A. First, we draw a line from bottom left going up to the top. Then we draw another line from the top going down to the bottom right. Finally, we add a horizontal line across the middle to complete our letter A.
Now let's learn the word 'an'. It is pronounced as /æn/. We use 'an' before words that start with vowel sounds. For example: an apple, an orange, an elephant. Notice how each of these words starts with a vowel sound, so we use 'an' instead of 'a'.
Let's learn about the word 'apple'. It is pronounced as /ˈæpəl/. An apple is a round, sweet fruit that grows on trees. Apples come in many different colors. We can have red apples, green apples, and yellow apples. All apples are healthy and delicious to eat!
Excellent work today! Let's practice together. Say A - /eɪ/. Now say 'an' - /æn/. And finally say 'apple' - /ˈæpəl/. Put it all together: I want an apple! Remember, we use 'an' before words that start with vowel sounds like apple. Keep practicing these sounds and words!
