hello my name is grace and welcome to alphabetical order in this video you'll
learn to place letters and words in alphabetical order so that you can find
your way around in dictionary a phone listing books in the bookstore or for
filing your personal musical playlist
alphabetical order means that the letters or words are in the order of the
26 letters of the alphabet in the same order you sing them in the ABC song I
will teach you how to do that now the first thing you need to do is to learn
the order of the alphabet you can play games like name the next letter for
example what is the letter that comes after a yes
B and you go on playing in this way with a partner it sometimes helps to sing the
alphabet song to know which comes first or to look at an alphabet chart another
game you can play is what's the middle letter for example what is the letter
between U and W that's right V and so on yet another game you can play is what
comes before what is the letter that comes before C if you said Y then you
are right then you can play games like put the letters in order can you put
these three letters in order which would come first based on the order it appears
in the alphabet if you said D you are correct
since it is near the beginning of the alphabet the next letter would be yes L
that leaves us with T that is the final utter in this set these letters are now
in alphabetical order once you can alphabetize letters you can move on to
placing words in alphabetical order here are three words that begin with three
different letters which of these beginning letters comes first in the
alphabet yes B comes before T or P so bike is first alphabetically which of
these words comes next if you said plane you are correct
because P comes before T in the events remember that you can say the
alphabet aloud to be sure and that leaves us the train t comes after P so
it is last in this set these words are now in alphabetical order alphabetizing
words can get a little tricky because sometimes you must look at more than one
letter here are three words that begin with B how will we put them in
alphabetical order when they all begin with the same letter when the beginning
letters are the same we need to look at the next letter now let's put them in
alphabetical order since I comes before the other letters in the alphabet we
know that bike is the first word in this list now which comes first o or you
right o comes next that leaves us with button because the next letter is U and
u comes near the end of the alphabet these words are now in alphabetical
order if the first and second letter in a word are the same you look to the
third letter and alphabetize it in the same way and the same is true if the
first second and third letters are the same in all words and so on

favorite movie titles or the books on your bookshelf so that they're easy to
find when you're looking for them there are many online tools to help you sort
