These videos will sing to the tune of the regular alphabet song.
Rewatch the video as many times as needed before you feel confident that you can sing it without help.
If you get stuck and need help, rewatch the section of the video that you’re struggling with.
Write the alphabet on a piece of paper to help you if you get stuck, only looking at the paper if it’s necessary. There are several helpful videos online that recite the alphabet backwards without singing it too.
For example, the chunks might be “ZYX,” “WV,” “UTS,” “RQP,” “ONML,” “KJ,” “IHG” “FE,” “DCBA”.
For example, once you’ve learned the chunks “GFED” and “CBA,” start practicing thinking of ‘C’ right after you say ‘D’.
It may help you to write out the chunks as you’re saying them, as a visual aid will help you remember them even better.
Add a melody to the string of letters if it helps you remember them in order. You may have to practice linking all the chunks together several times before it comes to you naturally.
For example, let “m” stand for mouse and “l” stand for log. “S” can stand for sun and “t” can stand for turtle.
While some people can learn the alphabet backwards by simply recalling a list of words, creating a vivid story is a more powerful mnemonic device. It may help you to write out the story and the image assigned to each letter so that you don’t forget.
