Kids songs are a good way for a child to start to learn to read — and this one is set to a catchy rap tune, features lots of colorful pictures and has a simple rhyming pattern. It is also a good song to introduce the letter q for someone who is learning English.
The letter ‘q’ almost always appears in front of a ‘u’ and is usually pronounced with a ‘kw’ sound. On rare occasions it is pronounced with a ‘k’ sound — for example in ‘quay’ and ‘plaque’ or a ‘ky’ sound — as in ‘queue’.
‘Q’ is the second most uncommonly used letter in the alphabet — only ‘z’ is less common. In fact if you studied a piece of English you would typically find that fewer than one in a thousand letters was a ‘q’.
Lyrics:
Q is for quarrel — when people disagree
Q is for quick — to move with lots of speed
Q is for queen — she wears a great big crown
Q is for quiet — shh! Let’s not make a sound
Q is for quill — an old fashioned type of pen
Q is for question — like what, why, where or when
Q is for quadruplets — instead of two there’s four
Q is for quintuplets — like quads but with one more!
Q is for quack — the sound made by a duck
Q is for quiz — we might win it with some luck
Q is for quartz — a special type of rock
Q is for quit — when it’s time to stop
