Alphabet Chart, Number Chart and Nursery Rhymes Chart

When I said that my alphabet chart is the best alphabet chart in the world, I am not kidding.

Started last April, finally, it was conceived. As mentioned in my article about teaching ABC to your kid, the chart will function not just for alphabet familiarization but as well as a tool for phonics. And from that post, I mentioned words/ objects that I will use for the chart. My dilemma in drawing was solved by printing the letters, using clip art for the objects. I cut and paste then add a few color using crayons (oil pastel to some) and voila: 

 So far, the only confusion is Q where there is a duck.. I still have to explain the sound ducks made.. Row for R was tricky..same with run.. I opted for row so we can sing row row your boat..

With my alphabet chart, teaching phonics will be easier, the chart can be used for teaching how to read 3 letter words, beginning sound, middle sound and last sound.. if you noticed, all vowels were used as middle sound.. fan (jar, van) for a, bed (keg, net..) for e, pig for i, log for o, sun for u and so on..

Aside from the alphabet chart, I also made a number chart.. numbers 1-10 and numbers 11-20 (as requested by Chico): 

was too excited to make this number chart that I did not consider the size of the objects used.. seems like 3 and 6 is equal..

This week, I will make colors and shapes chart, I will also make nursery rhymes poster.. this is our list so far:

• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (for shape)
• The Ants Go Marching One by One (for letter A as well as counting)
• Row Row Your Boat (for letter R)
• Barney Elephant Song (for letter E)
• Butterfly song for F
• What the Duckies Do for QUACK QUACK
• Wheels on the Bus for letter B
• Bahay Kubo (for vegetables)
• Sit Down, You’re Rocking The Boat (for Up and Down)

will also make copies of alphabet and number charts to place in our bedroom. And will also plan Chico’s curriculum and Sati’s too. Hopefully by July, we can start homeschooling and of course I will give you updates every week 🙂
