🌟 Let's Start

Everything you read is made of letters. There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. You may already know some of them! Let us learn all their names.

📚 New Concept

The English alphabet has 26 letters. Here they are in order:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

The small (lowercase) letters look like this:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

Five of these letters are special — they are called vowels:

A, E, I, O, U

The other 21 letters are called consonants.

Every word in English is made from these 26 letters. Your name is made of letters too!

• A-M-I-N-A spells Amina
• E-M-E-K-A spells Emeka
• B-O-L-A spells Bola

Sing the alphabet song to help you remember: A-B-C-D-E-F-G, H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P, Q-R-S-T-U-V, W-X-Y and Z!
