One of the most important things we know about how the brain learns to read is that children need to be explicitly taught the letter names AND the sounds that they spell. Connecting the letter name/symbol and sound we are preparing our little ones for later reading success. By using this little chant as a reference guide, you can provide a fun and playful way to learn the alphabet AND the sounds that the letters represent. I use hand gestures that my students helped create to give a little hint about what words start with those letter sounds. Start with a few at a time and work your way up to all 26! Here are some other helpful tips: 🧠 make sure you don’t add an uuuuuh sound at the end of your consonant sounds 🧠 check out the sound that e spells - I was showing echo as the keyword because the /e/ sound is isolated - the word elephant is confusing for kids because we hear the letter l at the beginning 🧠 watch out for the letter q because in English it needs to partner with the letter u 🧠 pay attention to the letter r - it doesn’t spell errrrr 🧠 notice that the x is a combination of the /k/ and /s/ sounds that crash together quicklyi 🧠 keep an eye out for alphabet books and resources that show x spelling xylophone /z/ because that is not a common sound that the letter x spells - it spells /k/ /s/ like you hear at the end of the word fox 🧠 say the letter name and what it SPELLS rather than what it makes - this reinforces that these alphabet symbols have a special job - letters SPELL sounds 🧠 partner this chant with alphabet blocks, letter cards, or puzzle pieces with the written alphabet letters so the child can see and hear the letter name and the sound it spells I’ve got a brand new alphabet resource that is just about finished.
