Basic Facts
The American Alphabet contains 26 letters total. Each of those 26 letters have two forms. A capital or uppercase form and a lowercase form. There are 21 consonants and 5 vowels. Yet, there are times when the letter Y sounds like a vowel. We refer to Y as our 6th vowel. Remember that English words are created using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. Children usually learn the uppercased letters first, then the lowercased later. This may make it difficult fo them to understand writing with lowercase letters because they are not used to them. But It’s up to you to choose the best learning path.
Consonants
There are several consonants that may look the same or similar. I suggest writing them as a form of practice to become used to their shapes. This will definitely help with recognizing them quickly when you are reading. You will find that there are just as many ways to write the letters as they are fonts. So, take your time and practice with a font you like. There are a couple of books in the shop where you can download activity pages to print and practice. Here are the uppercase consonants.
B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V W X Y Z
Vowels
As for the vowels, even though there are only five of them, they each have two or more sounds that they represent. And more, if you consider the double vowels or vowels written directly next to one another. Here are some. For addition sounds the vowels check below.
A E I O U and sometimes Y
