Over the course of my internship, I’ve had the chance to work with a variety of college students with targets that contain the alphabet; starting from writing your entire alphabet, each in decrease and higher case letters, to letter identification. As a way to serve a number of college students with their alphabet associated targets, I wrote this tune. I’ve had numerous enjoyable utilizing this tune in periods, so I’m sharing it right here with you immediately.

I wrote two variations of this tune, one in English, the opposite in Spanish. The lyrics are largely the identical. The lyrics and the recordings for each are listed beneath.

Oh within the alphabet kitchen,

There’s so many meals to eat!

Oh, within the alphabet kitchen, 

I discovered a tasty deal with!

Oh within the alphabet kitchen,

There’s so many meals to eat!

Oh, within the alphabet kitchen,

I discovered a giant pink apple!

Oh apple begins with “A”!

Let’s draw letter “A”!

Oh en la cocina del alfabeto,

Hay muchos alimentos para comer!

Oh en la cocina del alfabeto,

¡Ay, que deliciosa!

Oh en la cocina del alfabeto,

Hay muchos alimentos para comer,

Oh en la cocina del alfabeto,

¡Encontré arroz!

Arroz empieza con un “A”

Dibuja un “A”

The ultimate traces may be adjusted as wanted to work on completely different targets. For instance, you’ll be able to alter the final line to as a substitute ask somebody to seek out the letter, quite than draw it. The primary verse can be neglected to avoid wasting time. Moreover, you’ll be able to encourage dancing/singing/enjoying devices throughout the first half of the tune, which works properly each to assist with extremely energetic college students, and as a reset after every letter, which may be tough, particularly if the scholars are writing each higher and decrease case letters.

What I’ve favored essentially the most about utilizing this tune is that in a couple of completely different periods, it has led to some enjoyable discussions about favourite meals! For instance, I exploit “spaghetti” after I get to the letter S in English. When introducing this meals for this letter with a pupil, his eyes lit up and informed me, very excitedly, that spaghetti is his favourite meals! He was then way more enthusiastic to establish, then write the letter “s”, as now it held extra significance; his favourite meals! 

Talking of the completely different meals listed alphabetically, I’ve included an English and Spanish checklist of alphabetical meals beneath; I discovered this was the toughest a part of getting ready this tune (seems, not too many meals begin with the letter “x” in English!). That being mentioned, a few of these extra unfamiliar meals names can function a educating second, each for the coed and whoever is working with them (for instance, I had by no means heard of a xigua earlier than penning this tune, and neither had the scholars).

I’ve actually loved utilizing this tune, and I hope that it could be helpful to you as properly!

Thanks for studying!
