I really liked that this teacher took the initiative to break up the most common alphabet song to help the stupidest not run the letters together. Activities where the students are having fun, learning, and in a group setting are some of the most beneficial lessons for students at a young age. I also really liked how she had the alphabet with a clap signal to help the students recognize what letters you clap on instead of just following what the class does.

Clapping to not run the letter together is a great idea. The students also had visual reminders on what letters to clap on.

I've always liked hearing them sing "y-N-z" but found it very difficult to have the children sing this portion of the song with distinction when I taught Kindergarten!
