Letters Are Special Shapes

Look at a page in a book. Some marks are pictures, some are numbers, and some are letters.

Letters are the shapes we put together to make words. Point to a letter on a cereal box or a sign with your grown-up.

Try this: a sun drawing is a picture, 3 is a number, and S is a letter. The S helps write the word sun!
