The video tutorial introduces the 'a' sound, focusing on the digraphs 'ai' and 'ay'. The teacher uses a magic box to find words like 'train', 'paint', and 'mail' that contain the 'a' sound. Instructions are provided for writing the 'a' sound, and students practice reading words such as 'rain', 'tail', and 'weight'. The session encourages active participation and concludes with a prompt for students to think of their own words with the 'a' sound.
