How to Read a Graph Alphabet-Style

In a kindergarten classroom you can expect to see an alphabet chart on the wall written on graph style paper, large enough to be seen from the back of the room. The chart functions as a tool for both teachers and students. Teachers use the alphabet chart as a resource tool to help children identify letters and their corresponding sounds. Children refer to the chart as they become familiar with forming words and developing their writing skills.

Instructions

    • 1

      Read out loud the first letter on the alphabetized chart, "A." Say the long sound of "A." Pronounce the long sound of the letter the same way as the letter itself. Pronounce the short sound of "A" as in "bad" or "cat." Repeat the process until you become comfortable with the sound.

    • 2

      Continue to the next letter moving horizontally across the top row. Read out loud the letter, "B." Use just your lips to make the sound of the letter "B" without adding an "uh" sound at the end from your voice. Say the sounds, "b, a, t," instead of, "buh, aah, tuh."

    • 3

      Continue to read each letter on the chart, moving in a horizonal direction from left to right. Move to the first letter of the next row when you reach the end of the top row and continue across until you reach the end of the chart.
