Sing-spell your name

Recite the letters of your own name in order, using a simple tune or chant.

You can turn the letters of your name into a little song! Say each letter in order, one at a time, like a small parade.

Singing the letters of your name is a fun way to remember the exact order they go in.

📋 For the teacher

Teach it (10–15 min):

Use any simple, familiar tune (even one you make up) -- the tune matters far less than saying the letters in order.
Model it first yourself, nice and slow, before asking the child to try.
Keep it to the letters only this week; the child does not need to write anything.
Celebrate the performance -- singing it for a sibling, pet, or stuffed animal makes it stick.

Talk about it:

Mastery looks like: They can recite the letters of their own name in the correct order, from memory, without looking at the card.

Common stumbles: Skipping or swapping the order of letters; needing to look at the name card the whole time.
