A cat in a hat
sat on a mat,
A bat flew by and said,
“Look at that!” The cat had a bag with ham and jam,
Then danced with a happy little lamb!
A, A,
A!
Hear the short A!
Cat, bat, hat, say them today!
A, A,
A!
Clap, clap, clap! Short A sounds go tap,
tap, tap!
A crab had a snack
in the warm sand,
A duck went “quack!” with a flag in his hand.
A rabbit ran fast past a big black van,
Then crashed in a pan with a SPLASH of jam!
A,
A, A!
Hear the short A!
Cat, bat, hat, say them today!
A, A, A!
Clap, clap, clap! Short A sounds go tap,
tap, tap!
Dad had a map and a funny red cap,
He sat by the lamp and took a quick nap.
The cat and the crab made a marching band,
With a bat, a rat,
and a pan full of sand!
A, A,
A!
Hear the short A!
Cat, bat, hat,
hip-hip-hooray!
Jam, ham, crab, clap your hands!
Short A sounds are grand,
grand, grand!
“Can you hear the short A?”
CAT!
BAT!
HAT!
“Yay!”
