The key takeaways from this lesson plan are that it uses Dr. Seuss's ABC book to teach kindergarten students about letters, sounds, and the alphabet through reading, art, and a scavenger hunt activity.

Vowels are letters that make their own sound when spoken, such as a, e, i, o, and u.

Consonants are letters other than vowels that combine with vowels to form syllables and words. Examples include b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z.
