Key Rules & Conventions

The ABC Song Rule 🎡 Sing the alphabet song to find the right order. When you have a group of letters, sing the song slowly. Stop when you sing a letter that is in your group. The First Letter Rule πŸ‘€ Look at the first letter of each word. When we put words in ABC order, we only look at the very first letter to decide where it goes.
