The Alphabet – Start Here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The journey towards literacy starts with the alphabet. Our “ABC Song For All Ages<\/a>” sing-along video is designed to teach the alphabet in a relaxed and chill way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alphabet song is sung slowly at first without music, then sung again slowly with piano accompaniment, then sung at a faster pace, and finally the letters are presented without the narrator singing along so the student can practice. Both upper and lower case letters are shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This song is ideal for younger and older students, adults, English as a Second Language (ESL) and English Language Learners (ELL) that want to start learning how to read. Also see our recommended games list below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Games<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Games are a wonderful way to master the alphabet. Try these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alphabet order game.<\/a> Start with this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alphabet slider puzzle.<\/a> Can you get the alphabet in order in under 100 moves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alphabet bingo game. <\/a>Collect all the alphabet bugs! An absolute favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alphabet bubble game.<\/a> Can you drop the letters in the right place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alphabet slider game. <\/a>Can you make the picture?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventure man (or girl) game. <\/a>Get ready for alphabetic fluency with this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the alphabet is mastered it’s time to build your alphabetic fluency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Step – Alphabetic Fluency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Alphabetic Fluency Chart: Your Most Powerful Tool<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Fluency charts, using upper and lower case letters out of order, along with different fonts, help students master the letters beyond the “ABC” song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fluency Charts can also help students with dyslexia make the neurological connections necessary to identify letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Use the Alphabetic Fluency Chart<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

After students are confident with the ABC Song<\/a> begin teaching the alphabet with the letters out of order using the fluency chart above. Have the students practice reading the letters across, sideways, backwards, and up and down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will need to practice every day, and for students with dyslexia, mastering the letters can take months, or even years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As students become confident with the letters, then move on to letter sounds and the blending of CVC (consonant vowel consonant) words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These skills – letter names, letter sounds, and blending – will now begin to reinforce each other, but the alphabet is the critical first step as you learn to read. More details about these additional steps will be coming soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
