An alphabet song helps a child remember the order of the 22 letters. Knowing that order is useful, but it is a different skill from recognizing a letter or reading a word. Point to the shapes as you sing.

The player follows the familiar melody and letter-name audio. Try one short group first, then pause and ask your child to find a letter out of order on the printed chart. No commercial song lyrics are used.

Sing slowly enough to notice the names. If a Hebrew recording cannot play on your device, the melody and highlighted letters still provide a way to follow along. Use the pronunciation hints on the letter pages for extra help.
