A drawing of the sun and the word "sun" appear side by side, and young viewers find out which is a drawing and which is writing: the drawing shows what the sun looks like, while the word's three letters, s, u and n, are counted, named one at a time and read together as "sun". A pencil then writes "sun" by hand on lined paper, one letter at a time, and the video ends on the recap that in English, writing uses letters to say something.
