Proper use of a and an

My son is having an exam about the proper use of a and an. He's a nursery student, how I will explain it to him, he doesn't know how to read. I don't know what in mind of his teacher by the way.

Well, it does seem very unreasonable to expect a pre-elementary school child to understand any kind of grammar explanation. This is the simplest I can manage: Using a or an depends on the sound that begins the next word . Use ' an ' if the next word starts with a vowel sound .
