👨👩👧 For parents: teaching the letter O
The letter O (small o) is called “O” and usually makes the sound “Oh”. Common first words are Orange, Owl, Octopus.
Say the name first, then the sound, then a word: “O… O for Orange”. Ask your child to repeat it, find something at home that starts with O, and then trace the letter. Read more in our guide to teaching the alphabet.
