Learning the ABC

Learning the ABC -A SIMPLE TOOL FOR TEACHERS

It's very important to know the English ABC if you're learning English or even if you're an English speaker and you need to spell a word. You can learn the ABC singing which is funny but difficult to remember how to pronounce a letter correctly if you don't sing the whole song.

Try it�teaching your students common sounds for the different letters in the ABC like in the following chart:

/ei/	/i:/	/e/	/ai/	/iu/	/ou/	/a:/
A H J K	B C D E G P T V	F L M N S X Z	I Y	U Q W	O	R

�Then, you can practice spelling with your students dictating words, playing the Hangman , trying the exercises below or whatever other good idea you get.
