In kindergarten, the alphabet goes from a song kids sing to a code they can use. They learn to name every uppercase and lowercase letter, match the pairs, and say the sound each letter makes: b says /b/ like ball. They practice writing each letter and start using letter sounds to read and spell simple words. The click comes when kids realize letters aren't just shapes. They're sounds that make words!
Songs, movement and lots of quick practice. These moves get kindergarteners naming and sounding out letters fast.
Play one letter song each morning and have kids do a motion for the sound, like biting an apple for /a/. Songs with sounds teach two things at once: the name and the sound.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

By the end of kindergarten, most kids should name all 26 uppercase and lowercase letters and know the most common sound for each. Many kids start kindergarten already knowing some letters, and that's a great head start.
Most teachers teach them together. Kids learn faster when they connect each letter's name, shape and sound at the same time. Songs that include sounds are a great way to do this.
Many programs don't teach letters in ABC order. They start with letters that make easy sounds and build words quickly, like s, a, t, p, i and n. Separate letters that look alike, like b and d.
Point out letters on signs and cereal boxes, play I Spy with letter sounds, and sing alphabet songs together. Short, playful practice every day works best.
