							| Alphabet letters as people in stories 
 |  
							| This is how I present the alphabet. One letter a day, both cases. I make a 
story about them and draw the letters as characters. I always teach them
 in a song I make up e.g. HH, Hh, hat
 Hh, Hh, hat
 It sounds like a rap song with some clapping
 H
 is the mother  and h is the daughter. They both wear hats. Soft hats. 
That �s because they live in a very hot country. They never wear shoes because they hate noise. They always whisper. 
Hhhhhhh
 They are family. They do the same things. So, they are presented together.
 They have a surname. Mrs Hat is short but proud of her tall and thin daughter. That �s why she �s so happy...
 They could also be presented as father and son and represent the pronoun he. I give names as Helen, Hope... You could add bubbles to make them say their favourite words such as Hello, Hi... They are sociable, like meeting people and they have best friends. They usually go out with c...ch and make other sounds.
