Teach different versions of the alphabet song. For example you may want to teach the Sesame Street alphabet song or the phonics alphabet song. These are two popular alphabet songs for teaching the sounds of each letter.
Create a simple letter box, where the you post Upper case letters into one box and Lower case letters into another.
