About the ‘AlphabetZ’ product range
‘AlphabetZ’ – 26 original and fun character songs from A to Z written by Susie and Phil, with a focus on literacy, for children up to 8 years. There is a song for each letter of the alphabet such as ‘Ally the Alligator’, ‘Ben the Bear’, ‘Cooper the Caterpillar’, which introduce letters and sounds in the first steps to learning to read through songs, games, movement, listening and instruments.
These songs were written for Maureen Pollard’s wonderful literacy resource ‘Milo’s Birthday Surprise’. Maureen is a literacy consultant who is passionate about helping teachers and parents understand the skills involved in teaching children to read and write and she has a business called ‘Little Learners Love Literacy’. http://www.littlelearnersloveliteracy.com
Through singing, moving, games and playing instruments, letters and sounds can be introduced to children using the names of Milo’s animal friends as a memory jogger. Becoming aware of the link between sounds and letters is the first step in learning to read and then write and spell. Phonemic awareness activities focusing on blending and segmenting of sounds are an integral part of the program.
