Background
Lesley Beth writes:- We all know that music is the universal language and that
children love to sing, move and dance. As an experienced teacher, I know it is much
better to help children learn through the fun that music creates than through rote.
For generations, teachers have used nursery rhymes and songs to aid literacy. So too,
have advertisers and marketers utilized rhyme, alliteration and catchy tunes to help us recall.
Nowadays our early maturing children, who are brand name literate even before they have learnt to read,
find traditional nursery rhymes and their often outmoded language unfamiliar and irrelevant.
Jazzles Alphabet Clever Songs recognizes this evolution with a contemporary approach to alphabet
learning using amusing lyrics and upbeat music more relevant to children being exposed everyday to
new language and lifestyle concepts.
Using Jazzles Alphabet Clever Songs, you will soon see how singing creates emotional engagement and
memorability. Using rhythm, rhyme, alliteration and musical techniques, these songs help children recall
sound-letter relationships as an initial step in learning to read.

A Song for Every Alphabet Letter
The 26 Jazzles alphabet songs are a fun way for children to pronounce, understand and experience the use
of every letter in the alphabet. An additional theme song, Alphapazzazz helps children learn the order of
the alphabet and why we need to know these letters in order to read and write.
While focused on literacy, these catchy songs have children irresistibly singing and moving. Working out
actions to the songs reinforces the comprehension of the focus letter words and is an activity in which all
children enjoy and participate. Even children experiencing problems focusing on formal learning willingly
participate.
Insert the Jazzles CD into a PC CD-ROM drive and you will find printable, reproducible song lyrics and coloring
pictures for all Jazzles A-Z songs.
Here is a practical step by step way to using these materials in combination with the CD:-
1. Make an enlarged copy of the song lyric(s) for whole class reading.
2. Play the selected song on the Jazzles Alphabet Clever Songs CD. Teach the words.
3. Sing along with your children. Point out the focus letter everywhere it appears on the focus letter
lyric page. Let children highlight these letters with a felt pen.
4. Discuss the meaning of the song lyrics.
5. Use the relevant alphabet letter coloring page in the accompanying PDF Coloring Book on this CD to
identify pictures starting with the focus sound and practice the letter formation.
6. Use the content of the songs to promote discussion amongst the children regarding anything from
science to geography. For example, the A song lends itself to drama and geography. Children can
play the part of the Alligator or the Ant and look at the globe to find Africa and America. Additionally,
the sound of the rocket in the song lets the children use their imagination in interpreting the lyrics
into drama. Similarly, the J song lends itself to movement (Jiggle, Jump, Jog); the P song lends itself
to dancing (Party) and cooking (Pizza, Popcorn); the V song lends itself to research on volcanos and
building a 3-D model.
7. Use the song to prompt more discussion or develop ideas on any associated subject. For example, with
A song, study ants! With the X song, discuss extinction and endangered species. With the K song,
talk about the joy of kindness.
8. Listen to the tracks and talk about the different musical styles. Identify different musical instruments.
9. Perform songs with children playing percussion instruments (for example tambourines in the C song)
or groups of children singing echo backing parts (for example, in the B song).
10. Ask children to develop actions, movements and appropriate dance routines for songs. For example,
in the R song, children sit as in a boat and row in time to the music. With the P song, have disco
dancing. On the J song, theres plenty of aerobics with jogging, jumping and jiggle movements!
11. Create dramatic performances for some songs. For example, with the A song, create a playlet around
an Alligator and an Ant. Watch all the Hands Up when you ask for volunteers to play the queen or
the quacking duck in the Q page! Even more hands appear seeking to be one of four children stand-
ing back-to-back and making the eight waving arms of the orange octopus lurking in the depths while
the remaining children swim around under the imaginary ocean! Great fun particularly if they have
just been to an aquarium!
12. Take a tip! Let your children play the CD and sing the songs whenever they want. Children will! They
all enjoy the songs!
13. After the children have learnt the songs, its easy to assess their sound/letter recall. Just ask -What is
this song? and they will reply, for example, Its the b song. Reach that stage and you know they
have accessed that sound through recall.
