Latin alphabet

The Latin alphabet is a special set of letters that we use to write words in many languages, including English. It's kind of like a special code that we use to write down the sounds we make when we talk.

There are 26 letters in the Latin alphabet, which we call "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z." Each of these letters makes a different sound when we say it out loud.

When we use the Latin alphabet to write words, we usually write them from left to right, starting at the top of the page and going down to the bottom. We also use things like capital letters, punctuation marks, and spaces to help us make sense of what we're writing.

The Latin alphabet is really important because it helps us communicate with people all over the world. Even if we speak different languages, we can still use the same set of letters to write things down and understand each other. So, learning the Latin alphabet is a great skill to have!
