Your child hears the F sound — fff! — again and again, sees the capital letter F, and watches the flamingo stand on one leg with her wings out to make the letter F. Then meets twelve F words right on the beat: fish, frog, fox, fan, feather, flower, fork, football, fire engine, fairy, fence and fig.
