I am writing a small software program to teach non-English-speaking kids English Alphabets from A to Z. Is there any list of simple English words which begin with each letter?
For example Apple for "A", Black or Blue or Blackboard for "B", Zebra for "Z", Snake for "S", etc?
Is there any book for teaching the English alphabet to non-English-speaking kids so I can borrow a list of words for every letter?
I found this list, But some words seem strange and unfamiliar to kindergarten kids. Do you have a better recommendation?
- A - Apple
- B - Ball
- C - Cat
- D - Dog
- E - Egg
- F - Fan
- G - Goat
- H - Hand
- I - Indian
- J - Jam
- K - King
- L - Lamp
- M - Man
- N - Nurse
- O - Owl
- P - Pizza
- Q - Queen
- R - Rail
- S - Sun
- T - Tiger
- U - Umbrella
- V - Vase
- W - Woman
- X - Box
- Y - Yard
- Z - Zoo
