Jack Hartmann's Hip-Hop to the Alphabet

by Margo
(San Juan, Puerto Rico)

I teach English in Puerto Rico to K-2 Spanish speakers.

They beg for songs #3, 9 and 10 off this CD.

3 is the traditional alphabet song to a hip hop rhythm.

9 is letter sounds (I made my own classroom alphabet using pictures of the words he uses in the song).

10 is a vowel song that sings about the two sounds each vowel makes. I also made a chart with the pictures.

I incorporate whatever part of whichever song is relevant during our readings and even during oral communication.

It's fantastic!
