ABC Songs LyricsAs a former kindergarten teacher, I can’t stress enough the importance of teaching kids the alphabet ABC song before starting kindergarten. With that being said, please don’t assume your kids “know their ABC’s” just because they know how to sing the song. Reciting the song and recognizing the letters and producing their sounds are completely different skills. However, if they know the song before entering kindergarten, they will already have an interest in learning the letter sounds, and know the sequence of letters in the alphabet. Therefore, when it comes time to teach the letters, the kids who know the ABC’s alphabet song, will do better at tracking and pointing to the letters as they sing along – building letter recognition naturally.
