Alphabet soup: A song to learn alphabet letter names for the Early Years.

Musicbuds offers an exceptional range of original and well-crafted resources underpinning common musical objectives whilst focused on prominent EYFS themes. Aimed at all Early Years’ practitioners from class teachers, music specialists, teaching assistants, playgroup leaders to EAL and SEND support teachers.

This song was written to introduce the letter names for children learning to read. The order of the letters is based on the Letters & Sounds programme. It can be done with phonemes too. The simple repeated refrain using alphabet letter names helps to consolidate the musical idea of ‘turn-taking’.
