I Can Connect

The modern English alphabet is a Latin alphabet consisting of 26

letters, each having an upper- and lower-case form. It originated around
the 7th century from Latin script. Since then, letters have been added or
removed to give the current Modern English alphabet of 26 letters with
no diacritics, digraphs, and special characters. The word alphabet is a
compound of the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, alpha, and
beta.

 The exact shape of printed letters varies depending on the
typeface (and font), and the standard printed form may differ
significantly from the shape of handwritten letters (which varies between
individuals), and cursive especially.

I Can Learn

A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound that distinguishes one

word from another word in a language. This chart shows all the
phonemes used when speaking English.

Children will be taught the individual sounds of each letter of the

alphabet in Reception. They will then start to put these sounds together,
to make short words, such as: cat, nap, pin, tap, etc. This is called
blending sounds.

They will learn that each of these words have three distinct sounds
(phonemes). For example, cat has the three sounds: /c/ /a/ and /t/.

In phonics we learn to read the "pure sound" of a phoneme, rather than

letter names. For example, the sound /s/ is pronounced 'ssssss' and not
'suh' or 'es'. Learning to read pure sounds makes it much easier for
children to blend sounds together as they progress with their reading.

The Sounds of the Alphabet

With this alphabet chart, understand how to say the names of
the letters and read about all the sounds of each letter from the
alphabet. These are the basic phonetic sounds for American
English. To learn important sounds using free videos online, go to
