The letter Z is a very fun letter to learn about. The letter’s sound is fun to learn because it is easier to distinguish between other letter sounds This video presents the letter Z and teaches the sound of Z. At the beginning of the video, the letter Z appears on the screen. Then the video voiceover enunciates the letter Z sound three times and then asks the viewer to say the sound of letter z. The viewer is then shown the words zipper, zebra and zoo. These are word examples that young children are familiar with and now associate with the letter Z. The Z sound is pronounced when the word appears. The video length is excellent in that it is long enough to teach the letter Z and it’s sound, while not being too long so that a young child loses interest. The video’s animation of the zipper, zebra, and zoo appeals to young learners and is visually inviting.
