The letter A

A makes the short /a/ sound, as in apple and ant. It can also say its own name, as in acorn, which is called the long a sound.

Words that start with A

  • apple
  • ant
  • alligator
  • arrow
  • astronaut
  • alphabet

How to write A and a

Uppercase A:
Start at the top point and pull a slanted line down to the left, then go back to the top and pull a second slanted line down to the right. Finish with a short crossbar across the middle.
Lowercase a:
Start just below the midline and make a small circle going counter-clockwise, the same way you begin a c. Close the circle, then pull a short straight line down its right side to the baseline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Apple, ant, alligator, arrow. Every picture here opens with the short /a/ sound, so your child hears it again and again while their pencil learns the shape. Preschoolers trace and write uppercase and lowercase A, circle every Aa in a letter box, work through a beginning sounds page, and name the pictures on an "A is for apple" sheet. Kindergarten has a tracing page plus a letter recognition page built around an apple, and 1st graders hunt for A words in a word search. Mixed-letter pages for matching, missing letters and quick check-ins sit in the practice row, and a cursive A page waits for older siblings. Answer keys are included for several pages.
