What is A,’ ‘o,’ or ‘u?

A, o, and u are letters that help us say sounds when we talk. Think of them like special helpers for your mouth!

What They Do

  • A is like saying "ah", like when you’re surprised and say “Ah!”
  • O is like saying "oh", like when you're happy and say “Oh!”
  • U is like saying "uh", like when you're thinking and say “Uh…”

Why They Matter

When we put these letters together, they help make words that we can read and understand. For example:

  • “Cat” has an A
  • “Dog” has an O
  • “Sun” has a U

So next time you're reading or talking, think about how A, O, and U are working hard to help you say the sounds you need!
