SING OUT LOUD!<\/p>\n

Melodies may vary, yet the process of chanting letter names in alphabetical order remains a predictable landmark for preschoolers.<\/p>\n

Letter units have other names besides ayeee, beee, sea,\u00a0<\/em>etc.<\/p>\n

Have you tried reading Braille<\/a>\u00a0symbols for the blind?<\/p>\n

Do you recognize the\u00a0flags<\/a>\u00a0used to signal ships at sea?<\/p>\n

Morse Code<\/a>\u00a0uses “dah-di-dah” lines and dashes.<\/p>\n

In 1957, NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) introduced its now-popular Phonetic Alphabet. \u00a0Soldiers and pilots know these by heart:<\/p>\n

V01\/Aa\/ Alpha<\/p>\n

C17\/Bb\/ Bravo<\/p>\n

C20\/CHch\/ Charlie<\/p>\n

C19\/Dd\/ Delta<\/p>\n

V05\/Ee\/ Echo<\/p>\n

C24\/Ff\/ Foxtrot<\/p>\n

C23\/Gg\/ Golf<\/p>\n

C32\/Hh\/ Hotel<\/p>\n

V02\/Ii\/ India<\/p>\n

C21\/Jj\/ Juliett<\/p>\n

C22\/Kk\/ Kilo<\/p>\n

C37\/Ll\/ Lima<\/p>\n

C33\/Mm\/ Mike<\/p>\n

C34\/Nn\/ November<\/p>\n

V03\/Oo\/ Oscar<\/p>\n

C16\/Pp\/ Papa<\/p>\n

C22\/Qq\/ Quebec<\/p>\n

C38\/Rr\/ Romeo<\/p>\n

C28\/Ss\/ Sierra<\/p>\n

C18\/Tt\/ Tango<\/p>\n

C39+V09\/Uu\/ Uniform<\/p>\n

C25\/Vv\/ Victor<\/p>\n

C32\/Ww\/ Whiskey<\/p>\n

V05\/Xx\/ X-ray<\/p>\n

C39\/Yy\/ Yankee<\/p>\n

C29\/Zz\/ Zulu<\/p>\n

Does NATO know how many speech sounds are ignored? \u00a0Try these:<\/p>\n

V04\/Uu\/ Umbrella<\/p>\n

V06\/AIai\/ Aircraft<\/p>\n

V07\/Ii\/ Icicle<\/p>\n

V08\/OAoa\/ Oatmeal<\/p>\n

V09\/OOoo\/ Ooops!<\/p>\n

V10\/EAea\/ Eagle<\/p>\n

V11\/AUau\/ Author<\/p>\n

V12\/Uu\/ Bush-whacked<\/p>\n

V13\/OUou\/ Ouch<\/p>\n

V14\/OYoy\/ Oyster<\/p>\n

V15\/EARear\/ Earth<\/p>\n

C26\/THth\/ Thumbnail<\/p>\n

C27\/THth\/ Therefore<\/p>\n

C30\/SHsh\/ Shadow<\/p>\n

C31\/Ss\/ Vision<\/p>\n

C35\/NGng\/ Bling<\/p>\n

For the traditional ABC chant, WordsAhead also created a smarter version by reorganizing lyrics to portray the actual role letters play in representing consonant sounds and vowel sounds.<\/p>\n

Certain \/<\/strong>letters<\/strong>\/<\/strong>\u00a0represent both consonant sounds and vowel sounds:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\/Ff\/, \/Jj\/, \/Mm\/, \/Vv\/…<\/span><\/p>\n

\/Zz\/, \/Qq\/… \/Kk\/\u00a0<\/span>&<\/span>\u00a0\/Bb\/…<\/span><\/p>\n

\/Dd\/… \/Nn\/… \/Xx\/\u00a0<\/span>&<\/span>\u00a0\/Pp\/…<\/span><\/p>\n

\/Cc\/, \/Ll\/…\u00a0 \/<\/span>Ss\/\u00a0<\/span>&<\/span>\u00a0\/Tt\/…<\/span><\/p>\n

\/Ww\/<\/span>, \/Rr\/<\/span>, \/Yy\/<\/span>…\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>\/<\/span>Ii\/<\/span> &<\/span>\u00a0\/Gg\/<\/span>…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\/Aa\/<\/span>, \/Oo\/<\/span>, \/Uu\/<\/span>…\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\/<\/span>Hh\/<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>&<\/span>\u00a0\/Ee\/<\/span>…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our alphabet goes from<\/em> \/Aa\/<\/span> to<\/em> \/Zz\/,<\/p>\n

but can you sing from<\/em> \/Ff\/ to<\/em> \/Ee\/<\/span>?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
