Frequently Asked Questions

Common words starting with A include: apple, ant, alligator, astronaut, arrow, acorn, and anchor. Short-vowel A words (apple, ant) and long-vowel A words (ape, ace) are both great for introducing the two main sounds of the letter A.

Uppercase A: Start at the top center point, draw a diagonal stroke down to the left, return to the top and draw a diagonal stroke down to the right, then add a horizontal crossbar in the middle. Lowercase a: Draw a circular counter-clockwise stroke starting from the midline, then add a straight line down the right side.

A is typically the first letter taught because it is the first letter of the alphabet and a foundational vowel. The short A sound (/æ/ as in "apple") is among the easiest vowel sounds for young children to hear and produce, making it a natural starting point for phonics instruction.
