Elephant Flashcard — Letter E for Preschoolers
A grand elephant for the letter E. It is a long word for a short letter sound, and children love the contrast — the smallest-looking letter with the biggest animal. The trunk makes a perfect pointing game.

Count the syllables on fingers before saying the whole word.
Letter sound
In elephant, e makes its short sound: eh, the sound in egg and elbow. Say eh-leh-fant slowly and you can hear it twice — the letter works overtime in this word.
