The Phonics Dance helps children use movements and short stories to quickly gain alphabet sounds.
 * Phonics Dance Alphabet and Phonics Dance Hunks and Chunks of YouTube **

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Children quickly learn the alphabet and the sounds letters make in the quick 5 minutes it takes to complete the dance. It helps to start teaching the phonics dance by slowly introducing the letters, sounds, and motions a few a day. Each day review what has been learned and then add on with a few more letters and motions. The Phonics Dance shows up in children's writings first before reading, because students have to think and produce a word in writing where as in reading they decompose a word using the phonics dance.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Thought it would be great for Kindergarten, and a good review or RTI type strategy for 1st graders who still haven't mastered some of these skills.
