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!

My students thoroughly enjoy these songs. It is a great instructional tool for school or at home.

This flip chart comes with very catchy songs to familiar nursery rhyme tunes that my kids love! They know the tune, so it doesn't take long to learn the songs. Lots of rhyming too! Great way to learn the sounds of letters. My 4 and 5 yr old use it often and it was well worth the money!
Ex: (Tune: Ms Lucie had a Baby)
Hannah had the hiccups
hic hic hic hic hic hic
and all that hic hic hicupping made Hannah feel quite sick
her daddy didn't worry, he knew just what to do
to scare away her hiccups, he simply hollered BOO!

The letters of the alphabet come alive with these songs set to familiar tunes! The pages are printed on heavy-weight laminated paper, so you could use a dry erase marker to identify the target letter. I am very pleased with my purchase.

My students absolutely adore this CD and flip-chart. We use it when we learn about a new letter and the flipchart is great for them to identify the letters!

The product was just as expected. Love it and my daughter is using it in her classroom.

Amazing product! My students love it. The songs are very catchy and I unfortunately come home still singing them every day!

I use this in my preschool class with special education students and they love it. Its great to introduce letters and review letters and letter sounds. Lots of new vocabulary too.

Familiar tunes, fun and silly lyrics, very memorable and fun for kids. We have the book (which is also interactive) too, and got this for the preschool. We ordered another alphabet song product, it was terrible by comparison. This is the best!
