In this ABC song, Alphabet Zoo, I combined some great authentic photos of 26 wonderful animals with the 26 letters of the alphabet to help your children develop their letter recognition and beginning letter and word association. I found outstanding photos of animals from all over the world for your children to enjoy.

Allow your children to see and hear this music video over and over to really appreciate the beauty of each animal and to identify the beginning letter names and the animal word and image association.

One of the strongest research findings in the field of reading is the high correlation between knowledge of letter names and success in learning to read. (Adams, 1990)

Children love animals, that’s why we used these fantastic photos to get their attention.

Have your children name how many other animals they can think of that start with the 26 letters of the alphabet as an extension activity. After repeated viewings of this alphabet video your children might be able to memorize every letter animal word association.
