Alphabet Sound Charts & Homeschooling Children

One of the very next things we do after singing the alphabet song is the alphabet sounds chant and the kids love this. Sometimes even more than the alphabet song and it's a great routine, you can do it as many times but make sure you start out doing it each time you tutor or homeschool and we will start with the A and go all way through. As we go through it and as you do it day after day and the children start learning the sounds, they're going to say hey how about I use instead of using this for this letter, how about I use a different word. And that's great, let them be creative as long as it fits. Let them change this. Or you can switch it up and say we're not going to use cat today, we're going to use coleslaw or something else that starts with a C, but have fun with it. It is fun and you'll find that your child loves it. So here we'll start, ready and go; A-apple, B-ball, C-cat, D-dog, E-elephant, F-frog, G-goat, H-hat, I-igloo, J-jump, K-kitten, L-light, M-man, N-not, O-octopus, P-pepper, Q-now Q doesn't have a qu sound unless there's a U but it almost always does, so just teach them it that way. Q-queen, R-rabbit, S-sun, T-telephone, U-umbrella, V-Victor, W-water, X-now X is never in the beginning of the word with XX sound that is usually uses, so X is the only one that goes at the end X-fox and I teach X, the sound sounds like ice breaking, that's what I tell children, practice XX, so X-fox. Y-yellow, Z-zebra and that's it.
