A–Z Phonics Chant | Follow Along Alphabet for Early Readers | Australia

Описание: This A–Z phonics chant is based on a popular, first-of-its-kind Australian phonics A–Z chant, re-created without music to better support how young brains learn to read.

Designed for use at home, preschool and in the early years classroom, this video supports appropriate reading behaviours such as visual tracking and repetition - all key ingredients for early reading success.

How to use this video:
👆 Follow along with your finger
🗣️ Read with me out loud
🧠 Watch on repeat for consolidation
⚙️ Speed up playback speed when ready to build automaticity

The video intentionally models:
Two hands placed on a page when reading
Tracking from left to right
Word-by-word attention to support emerging readers connect spoken and written words
Both upper and lower-case letters for each letter of the alphabet

Each letter is clearly and consistently introduced using spoken repetition, for example: “D is for dog, D is for dog, D is d d d, Dd”

This predictable structure supports memory, confidence and phoneme-grapheme connections essential for children in their first years of learning to read.

Perfect for:
Early Years & Foundation classrooms (as a teaching tool and/or warm-up)
Home reading practice
Children learning English sounds

If this video supports your teaching, consider saving it and sharing it with other teachers and parents. Daily review matters!
