Alphabet Routine Freebie – Science of Reading Aligned Intervention Script for Letter Names and Sounds

This Guided Phonics + Beyond Alphabet Routine Freebie gives teachers a simple, effective way to introduce and review letter names and sounds each day. The structured routine supports Science of Reading aligned instruction by connecting print, sound, and motion in a way that builds lasting alphabet knowledge.

Teachers follow a consistent daily script that focuses on identifying each letter, saying its name and sound, tracing or writing the letter, and connecting it to a keyword picture. The predictable structure builds confidence and automaticity for all learners — especially those developing early alphabet understanding.

🎥 I highly suggesting pairing in the Leap Frog Letter Song along with these actions for maximum letter sound mastery. (For alphabet sound videos, you will need to overemphasize proper sound production, such as /r/ instead of “ruh” and /b/ instead of “buh.”)
