"Sounds of the Alphabet" from Dr. Stephanie Hunte's Etta Kat Lit Kit: Structured Literacy for Young Learners is a playful and educational song designed especially for preschoolers and Kindergartners who are beginning their journey into phonics and early reading. Unlike traditional alphabet songs that focus only on letter names, this tune introduces children to the multiple sounds each letter can make, laying a strong foundation for decoding and spelling.

With a cheerful, rhythmic melody inspired by the classic Wheels on the Bus, this song captures young learners' attention and turns phonics practice into a fun, sing-along experience. From /ă/ for apple to /k/ in cat and cub, each verse builds sound awareness in a way that feels more like play than learning.

Perfect for home or classroom use, the song supports:

• Letter-sound recognition

• Auditory discrimination of phonemes

• Multisensory learning through singing, clapping, or tapping

Whether used during morning circle, phonics centers, or car rides with caregivers, Sounds of the Alphabet turns every moment into a chance to build strong early literacy skills—with joy!
