Teaching the Alphabet Song in Homeschooling

Video Transcript

The most basic beginning of teaching children literacy of course is the alphabet song. Now I made a little chart right here, you can make one too or you can make it big and put it on the wall if you'd like. If you don't feel you have good handwriting, just go slow, be careful and make yourself have good handwriting. Anybody can have good handwriting, it doesn't matter how sloppy you naturally write right now. You just slow down, say this is important, my child needs to learn how letters really look and do it. Now I have a modified alphabet song. This one avoids some of the problems in the traditional alphabet song like n, l, o, p. A lot of children smush that together and think it's 1 or 2 letters. Or at the end, x, y, and z in the song they think it's w, the letter n, the letter z or they whatever, sometimes get mixed up with different things. This modified song avoids those problems as well as putting the chart into a very nice format. You have 7 letters, 7 letters, 6 letters, 6 letters and then you're done. So break it like that and that's also how the song is sang. So here it goes ready? A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z and then you can sing the rest with them. Now I know my ABC's next time won't you sing with me because that's always fun and they love to do that.
