The letter A makes the sound heard in the words apple, black and cat. This is the sound (short a) you would first introduce to a child. The letter A also makes the long a sound as heard in able, make, rain*, and day*. The letter A makes a variety of sounds. It is most commonly found using the short a sound; however, it also makes the following sounds:

• Schwa, e.g., about, comma and ago,
• AL Digraph, e.g., all, talk and call,
• AU Digraph, e.g., August, auto and because,
• AW Digraph, e. g., awful, lawn and draw,
• /air/ Vowel (AR and ARE spellings), e.g., vary, care and parent, and
• /ar/ Vowel (Bossy R), e.g., are, March and car.

* Vowel team rule (AI, AY, EA and OA): The vowel team rule states when two vowels go walking the first does the talking (says its name) and the second vowel is silent, e.g., brain, pray, beach and boat. There are a few exceptions to this rule. The combination of the vowels E and A also result in the short e sound, e.g. head, feather and heaven.

In some instances, the letter a can sound like the short o, e.g. watch.
