SOUNDS, WORDS & LETTERS

Meet animal friends from A to Z

A familiar animal can make a new letter easier to remember. Say the animal’s name, listen to its sound and notice the first letter together.

Turn animal sounds into a learning moment

Try asking your child to guess which animal makes a sound, imitate it together and then say the animal’s name slowly. This links listening and speaking with a word and its first letter.

Play together in three steps

  1. Listen: pause and notice the animal sound.
  2. Name it: say the animal’s name together.
  3. Find its letter: look for the first letter in the alphabet.

Follow your child’s curiosity. If they love lions, linger with “L”; if they want to hear another sound, let them choose what comes next. Repeating a favorite is part of learning.
