Sure, there\u2019s the traditional alphabet. In fact, our Jam Cat friend, Liv, sings for us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PwNcnWODeWg&amp;list=PLhdTIOOfEnNF8DevUQjNJZLqIoyR4nJnh&amp;index=12\">here<\/a>!)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ABC SONG - Liv Wilinski | The Jam Cats Music | Kids Songs | Nursery Rhymes | Music Classes\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PwNcnWODeWg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But what about when you want to reinforce the alphabet without the traditional song? What about when you want to introduce and reinforce phonics? Here are a list of 5 non-traditional alphabet songs for you to use spice up your alphabet lessons.<\/p>\n<h2>Alphabet Song by Have Fun Teaching<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alphabet Song | ABC Song | Phonics Song\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/36IBDpTRVNE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This song is fun because it adds a good dance so that kids and move around as they want while watching and listening. In this video, the letters are displayed while sang. After going through the alphabet and letter names, the second half of the video focuses on the phonetic sound of each letter.<\/p>\n<h2>The Phonics Song 2 by KidsTV123<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Phonics Song 2\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BELlZKpi1Zs?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Personally, I love this. I\u2019ve used it in the regular education classroom, I\u2019ve used it in the special education classroom, and I currently use it in my homeschool classroom (ah, COVID schooling). The tune is simple, delicate, and predictable and they do a great job presenting the letter, the phonetic sound, and a word. To throw in more than just singing, if you\u2019re learning ASL, this is a great way to practice the ASL alphabet and some basic words.<\/p>\n<p>Work-Out to the Letter Sounds \u2014 Jack Hartman<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Workout to the Letter Sounds | Version 2 | Letter Sounds Song | Phonics for Kids | Jack Hartmann\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLWIn9K4JSK5uhs0fXi8tw2kZUPvjBv5pJ\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ah, Jack. \u00a0This video is great because it gets kids up and moving while saying a letter, the sound, and a word. We did this one early in the school-year here and my kids still ask for it!<\/p>\n<h2>Usher\u2019s ABC Song \u2014 Sesame Street and Usher<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sesame Street: Usher&#039;s ABC Song\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SWvBAQf7v8g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is another fun one to get the kids moving. What I love about it is that the movements are not your typical \u201cstand, stretch, touch toes,\u201d but fun and different ones like \u201cfinger flap and flutter about.\u201d It really keeps everyone listening and paying attention to the letters and words.<\/p>\n<h2>Alphabet Medley \u2014 Sharon, Lois, and Bram<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sharon, Lois &amp; Bram Sing A to Z - Alphabet Medley\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/76uRXm78ufE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>A throwback to my childhood here with our friends from The Elephant Show. Other than the fashion throwbacks, the great thing about this video is that they mix up the rhythms in the alphabet. This challenges kids to really KNOW the alphabet. Some other nursery rhymes are peppered in to keep everyone engaged, as well.<\/p>\n<p>There you have it!
