I currently teach Kindergarten and enjoy having the students say small chants to help them remember their letter names and sounds. We say ones like "A says aaaa, ant on an apple, aaaa." The students then slowly shorten their chant to just A says aaa, but we begin by having them learn all about words that start with this letter sound and slowly progress to what letter does this word start with? What letter do you hear first? I showed my students your video with different actions and sounds. It was fun for them to hear new chants that were different than the ones they have heard. We do not teach them in alphabetical order like you do so it was interesting for them to hear the ones they have not yet learned.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013120941303279614noreply@blogger.com
