Letter Sounds
Every letter has a special sound.
When we see a letter, we can say its sound. This helps us read words.

Every letter has its own shape.
We look at the shape to know which letter it is. Some are curvy, some are straight.
Letters Make Words
We put letters together to make words.
The word 'cat' uses the letters c, a, and t. It's like building with blocks! 🧱
