    Thank you, these are great ideas! I also like Patty Shukla's alphabet song. It has the letter, letter sound, a word that starts in that letter, and sign language.

    Should I teach alpha letters in order or should I just go ahead with the sounds? 4 weeks to tutor

    Love your videos, Susan! Could you share some information about your educational background some time? I'm interested in becoming a literacy specialist, but I don't really know what direction to take my education. Literacy credential? Master's degree? National Board certification? Special ed credential?
