The Alphabets can be written both in Capital Letters and in Small Letters. These can be classified into Vowels and Consonants.
Vowels: a, e, i, o, u (5 letters).
Vowels are pronounced with mouth open.
Example: When we pronounce "e", our mouth, tongue, teeth, and lips did not move.
Consonants: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, and z (21 letters).
Consonant are pronounced by moving part of the mouth i.e. lips, tongue, or teeth.
Example: When we pronounce “b”, we briefly close our lips.
Note: Vowels and consonants work together to help us pronounce written words. Each letter makes at least one sound. Learning the sound of each letter help us speak out words.
