Description
Link for abc chart to link this song during guided reading: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ABC-Linking-Chart-for-Dr-Jeans-ABC-Song-from-YouTube-3577184. (I also have matching flashcards, puzzles and a memory match available.) This YouTube upload by Nicole Bueno was our daily alphabet song in Kindergarten. I didn't think about recording it until literally the LAST day of school (which is why my room is BARE and I have a few not participating fully lol). Using the visual, auditory and kinesthetic are KEY to the success of the alphabet song!!!!!! For example, at the guided reading table, I saw children get stuck on a word beginning with "o", then think and do the octopus motions and then say the short o sound- the motion LINKED what they heard and saw! Eventually this becomes automatic. If you want to accelerate letter names and sounds DO AN ALPHABET SONG WITH VISUAL, SOUND AND MOTIONS EVERYDAY! Tracing an alphabet book is also fantastic but that's another video.
