The English alphabet has both vowels and consonants. Vowels are a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y. Each word in the English language must have at least one vowel in it. Each letter in the alphabet has a certain sound that it makes. Sometimes, these letters can be put together. Then the sound would be blended together. For example, blending b with l makes the “bl” sound. You must use your lips and tongues to say these letters. Only one alphabet sound can be made when you don’t move your lips and tongue. Story 2 - Elbows The elbow is a joint in your arm. It makes your front arm and hand move up and down. Your elbow can only move in one direction. However, it lets you pick up things off the floor and move them closer to you. If you are hungry, you will use your elbow to get the food to your mouth. Elbows can get hurt. If you fall on the ground, your elbow could hit the ground. This could cause a fracture. A fracture is when your elbow is broken. Moving a bone out of the joint is called a dislocation. An elbow can only move one way. It is not like your shoulder. Your shoulder can move around and around due to the type of joint it is. So, you can’t lick your elbow if you tried. Show less
