Song for teaching consonants of the alphabet
I like to use songs when teaching. Kids seem to naturally pick up concepts a little quicker this way. One of the kids favorite songs for learning the letters of the alphabet is called "Zip-A-Zee-Zoo-Zah, Zip-A-Zee-Zay" I wish I could remember my source for this song. It's is a keeper. This song can be used for each of the consonants except for "X". Simply switch out the "Z" for each of the other letters. If I forget to do this song the kids are quick to remind me. (I laminated this song on a poster and left blanks where the "Z" goes so I can switch out the letters of the alphabet.)
