Help your preschoolers or kindergartners learn the names and sounds of each letter with these catchy and cute letter songs. Sing them together during rug or circle time. Sing them over and over until the students know the sounds of each letter! Soon you'll be hearing them humming and singing the songs on their own. Each letter has sheet music and a poster for your class to look at. There are two songs for each vowel: one for the short sound and one for the long sound. These cute songs will add a whole new dimension to learning letters! How to Use This: Print out the sheet music to use while you learn the song. If you have a pianist available they can use the sheet music to enhance the experience! Use the poster with just the lyrics for the kids to look at. Some clipart has been included to use as cues. Post the song for display and remember to sing it everyday during your letter unit! Laminate the sheet music or song poster so you can reuse them over and over each year! That will also help in case kids are holding them so they don't get crumpled right away. What You Get: - Sheet music for each letter song - Colorful poster for each letter song - Vowel letters have songs for both the short and long sounds. - 31 songs altogether Teaching young kids to learn to read requires so many different steps and activities. I hope that this activity and others I've made will help you create a letter-learning curriculum and plan that will help you cover all the topics and skills you needs to help your students become proficient readers and learn to love reading with all their hearts. High-quality resources, activities, worksheets, and crafts can make all the difference in making their learning memorable and fun! Alphabet Letter Songs | Letter of the Week Activity Book
