Sing the alphabet, then write it
Sing the alphabet song while pointing to each letter on a chart. Then pause on a letter and have kids skywrite it with a big arm. Songs fix the letter order and names, and skywriting gets the motion into their muscles.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
