Alphabet Program

I have decided to try out an Alphabet program through www.kinderplans.com  The following is information that explains why letters are taught in the following order.  We were going to start with Aa, but We will be starting with Cc.
 

Alphabet, Word Family and Sight Word Program 
Reason for Letter Sequencing
When developing the program many avenues were 
looked at.  The reason for sequencing the alphabet in 
the manner suggested was to ease into printing the 
letters more successfully.  Although every effort has 
been made to sequence the letters in this fashion, it 
was difficult to coordinate the themes, emergent readers and literature to coincide exactly as suggested. You will notice deviations throughout the program.  The vowel sounds have been introduced near the beginning of the program so kindergarten 
teachers can begin introducing related word family groups early in the 
school year. The first letter introduced is “c” because it becomes the 
base of printing other letters.  The base for learning to print the letters is 
outlined below: 
Letter “c” turns into        “a”, “e”, “d”, “o”, “g” and “q” 
Letter “l” turns into        “t”, “i”, “j” and  “k” 
Letter “r” turns into          “n”, “m”, “h”, “b” and “p” 
Letter “v” turns into          “y”, “w” and “x” 
Extra letters         “f”, “s”, “u” and “z” 
Connecting to Literature
The program uses well-known literature selections as a base for introducing each letter of the alphabet.  This helps connect the enjoyment of 
listening to the stories to the importance of learning to read (starting first 
with the learning the alphabet and their related sounds). 
Creating a Meaningful Reason Introducing the alphabet in context to using the alphabet and sight word readers gives the children a much greater understanding of why they are learning the letters (to read) rather than in isolation.  The readers also 
provide a powerful tool in modeling the reading process to the children.   


Using Auditory Stimulus
Using the alphabet/action songs in conjunction with the readers is a powerful tool for children to learn the alphabet and their related sounds.  This will appeal to the auditory learners.   I have already purchased the "Alpha Tunes" to go along with this program.
