I don't know why they have this listed as ages 9-12, but my 2 year old loves this! we do one letter each day, play the song a few times, and we do the letter dance (just a dance we made up for each letter to help her remember them, it's not part of the chart).
I would definitely recommend this for a preschool teacher or a parent of a preschooler to help them learn their alphabet. I also recommend the calendar and time chart too.
They are durable too; she flips them herself.

I've used this chart in my PreK classroom for over 6 years now. It's great! The kids love most of the songs and we "hunt" for the letter each week with a dry erase marker. (Note: The dry erase marker comes off easier if you erase it at the end of each week instead of the end of the school year.) It's durable - it's lasted me 6 years and is just now to the point where I think I should replace it.
Most of the songs are to catchy, familiar tunes. There are a few songs (2-3) that basically just go through a random list of letter-vocabulary words (kitten, kettle, kite, kazoo - thus 4 instead of 5 stars) and the kids have a hard time remembering all of the words to those songs. However, I printed off clip art to represent each item and show the pictures as we sing and that seems to help a lot.
We sing the letter song for our focus letter every day at the beginning of our phonics block. After singing the song, we do a quick activity. On Monday, we discuss the meaning of the song since there are sometimes vocabulary terms the students are not familiar with. Tuesday/Wednesday we listen for the letter sound - I say each word of the song (without pointing to the words so that this is strictly an aural task) and the kids have to do a specified motion if the word I'm saying starts with the focus letter. Then we sing the song the "silly way" by over-emphasizing the words that begin with the focus letter. This usually requires me to sing a line and have the students repeat it. Thursday/Friday we look for the focus letter and students come up to circle it on the poster using the dry erase marker.
I leave the flip chart out in my "teacher center" and the kids always come up and use the pointer to "read" the poster and sing the song. I don't think I could teach PreK without this wonderful tool!
