L3_S3_Sentences with Vowels and Consonants’ Words

Alphabets are the letters or symbols of sounds of a language, and they are the basic units for writing, reading, and speaking. In English, there are 26 alphabets which are classified into 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 21 Consonants (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, and z). The vowels and consonants combine to form different words or sounds which have different meanings and make up the language. 

 

Example

Here is a poem about a friend, which starts each line with the Vowel or consonant in alphabetical order (Alphabetic acrostics)

 

A ball dress, some slippers, and I am in heaven.

Believe me, pretending and dress up is fun!

Can you use your own imagination?

Do give it a try, my little one.

Every child should try make believe,

For that's what little brains often do best.

Grown-ups may tell you to study your words,

(Hey, have some fun. Take a quick rest!)

 

I used to pretend whenever I could -

Jumping like grasshoppers into the wood,

Kicking my feet up in some brand-new dance,

Leaping like fairies into the grass.

 

Mom used to call me a "Scatter Brain,"

Never was I to dance in the rain.

Over and over she warned me, "One day,

People will think your brain's gone astray!"

Questioning her theory, I only saw smiles

Returning to me as I danced many styles.

 

"She probably meant well, me mum," I would say.

Trying my best to keep dreaming away, but,

Under my blanket at night while in bed,

Visiting people who lived in my head,

Wondering how they liked pretending day long?

Xylophone playing, they'd sing me a song

 

"You know all the magic of which we're made from?

Zealously keep it and you'll always stay young."
