Echo, then together
Sing one line of the Alphabet Song and have kids echo it back. After a few rounds, sing the whole thing together while you point to each letter on the wall chart. Echoing slows it down so no letter gets mumbled into "elemenopee."
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
