Preschool
Music, rhythm and rhyme are how most preschoolers learn. The repetition of lyrics and melodies are enticing to young children and this is excitement for them. Kindergarteners alone spend three hours a day learning through song or poems. This enables children to learn the concept of their ABC’s, numbers, phonics, characterization and a variety of other important conceptual strings quicker, easier and with better understanding.
Therefore, using the basic ABC song is the first step for preschoolers to learn their ABC’s. Sing the ABC’s regularly, as often as you can. There are a number of ample opportunities to sing praise to this delightful song, which they will learn in Kindergarten anyway, but you can have them a step ahead of their class.
Helping them to recognize them could pose more of a challenge. One method could be to be funny, have fun or be silly.
Main points to address:
- Use flash cards regularly.
- Have fun.
- Take every opportunity to sing the ABC song.
- Purchase fun materials to incorporate the ABC’s.
Grades K-3rd
Once children know their ABC’s exceptionally well, you can put a twist on this basic song by teaching your children their ABC’s backwards. This is always a fun thing to know, how many people in the world actually can recite their ABC’s backwards? It’s not that it’s needed for any particular reason, but it is a great trick to know. You’re kids will enjoy being the only one around who can do this.
Start with the basic rhythm of the ABC song, just do it backwards

Main points to address:

- Be patient with the child’s learning process.
