Your child hears the short E sound — eh! — again and again, sees the capital letter E, and watches Isabella stretch out her trunk to show off the letter E. Then meets twelve E words right on the beat: egg, elf, elk, engine, envelope, emerald, escalator, echo, exercise, elbow, emperor penguin and eggcup.
What your child learns
- The letter E and its short sound – eh
- E words: egg, elf, elk, engine, envelope, emerald, escalator, echo, exercise, elbow, emperor penguin, eggcup
- The shape of a capital E – one tall line and three arms
- Joining in with a call-and-response chorus
How it goes
- Welcome to ABC Songs with Tardy
- E is for Elephant
- Egg, elf, elk
- Engine, envelope, emerald — trunk out long!
- Escalator, echo, exercise — say it with me: eh!
- Elbow, emperor penguin, eggcup — dance break!
- Look, she's an E — sing it again
- All twelve E words
The words
E is for Elephant, Elephant, Elephant! E is for Elephant – eh, eh, E!
Eh-eh-egg in a cosy nest, eh-eh-elf in a little vest,
eh-eh-elk with his antlers wide, E is for Elephant – stomp and stride!
Eh-eh-engine, choo, choo, choo, eh-eh-envelope, a letter for you,
eh-eh-emerald, sparkly green, E is for Elephant – the biggest you've seen!
Trunk out long and legs out too, one, two, three, she's showing you,
stretch out, Elephant – look, she's an E! (Toot!)
Eh-eh-escalator, up we go, eh-eh-echo, hello, hello,
eh-eh-exercise, one, two, three, E is for Elephant – dance with me!
Say it with me: eh! Say it again: eh! Flap your ears: eh! Swing your trunk: eh!
Eh-eh-elbow, bend and stretch, eh-eh-emperor penguin, what a catch,
eh-eh-eggcup, one for me, E is for Elephant – you and me!
