The 5 Best Songs for Learning Letters and Sounds
1. The Apple apple Song with Hand Motions – Barbara Milne
This great song has capital and lower case letters. As a matter of fact, it provides students with hand signals. When the students create their own hand signals and/or provide different words to go with sounds, learning expands to a whole new level.
This song goes through the capital letters, lower case letters and then the sounds! It is usually requested by the students each day! It is fast and has a catchy tune! Kiddos love it!
Yep! Once again I LOVE Jack Hartmann videos. In this video he really emphasizes the letter name and the sounds which helps beginning readers! I also talk about ASL therefore we use a few signs for classroom management.
A fun rap version that focuses more on the sounds than the letter names then the sounds are clipped so it really helps with spelling!
This is a great gross motor activity using visual letter, letter name, sound, then the student makes a connection with a word.
I hope you’ve found this information helpful. If you have any additional tips that might help a teacher, please share below in comments!
