Lets Start Smart-Alphabet & Letter Sounds A to L



This is the film that I found in the Youtube.
This is phonics.... way to learn how to pronounce and spell words!
I love these phonics series from LetsStartSmart.
This shows us how to learn Phonics by singing as well as with fun.
Last week I showed this film to Mummy,
my girl-student who is fourth-grade in elementary school.
She also loves this phonics rhythm!
In the fist part of the song about alphabet pronunciation sounds, she can follow.
In the 2nd part about the combination of adjective and noun,
such as “Angry Aneolope, Joyful Jaguar”,
some words she didn’t learn before.
After sing two times, she can follow the pattern of this phonics song.

That really surprised me.
She is the shy girl, who is not easily to speak the word with uncertainty,
but with this song and rhythm, she is willing to sing it loudly.

Through this experience, I firmly believe that interesting English teaching and Learning can by combination of musical rhythms and computer uses.

A—Angry antelope
B—Beautiful bird
C—Crazy crocodile
D—Delicate dog
E—Elegant elephant
F—Funny frog
G—Green grasshopper
H—Hungry hippo
I—Indigo insect
J—Joyful jaguar
K—Kind kangaroo
L—Lovely lamb
