Songs that Teach the Alphabet

Songs are an easy way to learn the names and sounds of letters. Many tapes (and CDs) are availble at your public library at no cost to you. Learn the songs and sing them every day in the house and in the car. The following tapes teach the letters of the alphabet. The list was compiled by searching the Los Angeles public library catalog.
