The Letter Sounds Song

[10 Minutes]

As you sing about the letters in the alphabet, you will help your child reinforce letter sounds. Enjoy singing this song together.

What to do:

1. Sing the following song with your child (Tune: "Farmer in the Dell"):

   I found an "A" today,
   I found an "A" today,
   "A" is for applesauce,
   I found an "A" today.
   
   I found a "B" today,
   I found a "B" today.
   "B" is for bouncing ball,
   I found a "B" today.
   
   I found a "C" today,
   I found a "C" today.
   "C" is for calico cat,
   I found a "C" today."

2. Continue singing the song with other letters of the alphabet.
3. If your child has a special interest, such as dinosaurs, he can help you sing this song:

   I found an "A" today,
   "A" is for Ankylosaurus.
   I found a "B" today,
   "B" is for Brontosaurus.
