A for Apple

Letter and object sit side by side on this page: a bold uppercase A on the left and a shiny round apple with a happy face, a curled leaf, and a short stem on the right, with the word "apple" hinted in block letters below. Pairing a letter with a picture that starts with its sound is one of the oldest and most reliable ways to learn the alphabet, and this page makes the A-is-for-apple link feel friendly rather than like a drill. Young children can fill the chunky A and the open apple body without much fuss, while bigger kids can add a glossy highlight or shade the leaf. Did you know an apple floats because about a quarter of it is air? Color the apple classic red, sunny yellow, or green like a Granny Smith. Print it on US Letter or A4 and start your own ABC wall.
