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.
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.
