Master Letter Names and Perfect Alphabet Order

You will learn how to name every letter in the alphabet and write them in the correct order from A to Z. This important skill helps you recognize all alphabet letters and form them properly when you write words and sentences.

The alphabet has 26 letters that always go in the same order: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z. You can sing the alphabet song to help you remember this special order.

When you know alphabet order, you can figure out which letter comes before, after, or between other letters. For example, the letter M comes before N, and the letter K comes between J and L.
