🔤 What is Letter C?
In the last post, we already discussed the alphabet, B. Now we will learn letter C, which is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is commonly used alphabet everyday words.
There are two forms of Letter C:
- Capital letter → C
- Small letter → c
👉 You can teach your child: This is the letter C; we use it in words like “cat,” “car,” “camera,” and “cake.”
Children learn better when they listen and see at the same time. Listening is the first step of child learning, but along with listening, if a teacher or parent uses both listening and vision, then this will increase your kid’s interest and focus to learn fast and quick.
For example, C for Cat: a child listens to the alphabet “C” and repeats it, but he or she does not understand what the alphabet “C” is, so hearing vision plays an important role. If a kid sees a picture of a cat, then he will understand quickly that c is for cat.
