Help your little learner practise hearing the beginning sound in words and identify which words start with the letter A.
Say each word slowly and listen to the beginning sound. Practise deciding whether each word starts with the A sound.
Say each word slowly and emphasize the first sound. Ask your child, "Does it start with the A sound?"
Try familiar words such as apple, ant and alligator when practising the A beginning sound.
Look around the house or while you're out and about for objects that start with the A sound. Take turns finding an object and saying its name.
Keep the activity playful and focus on listening for the beginning sound rather than expecting perfect pronunciation.
More alphabet learning activities will be added as we continue building the collection for toddlers and preschoolers.
