Phonics and Sounds
Vocab and Fun.
The Animal Sounds Song.
Covers lots and lots of animals, but the sounds can be used for Phonics practice as well.
Eric Herman - Elephant song
This Guy makes outstanding songs for children, check out his others from the video as well.
What does the Fox Say
A billion views can't be wrong. yes its silly but its also good for students to listen to and try.
ooo eee ooo ahhh ahhh Ting tang
Crazy song that young learners try to sing along with. I use it for fun, and try to justify it because of vowel sounds...but no its for fun :)
Superman Song:
Actions song from the 1980's. Good for actions and verbs for students.
Magic E song - Whole lessons can be planned around this video. The students love to sing along with it as well.
Short vowel sounds song:
For younger learners it helps to steer away from the kindergarten teaching of abc as letters not sounds focussing on vowels
Long and short vowel song,
helps to introduce or reinforce the concept of multiple sound for vowels, and again students happily sing along with it.

When two vowels go walking:
Teaching diphthongs and the rules on how to say two vowels together ( of course not all)
Syllables lesson:
a great introduction for ESL students to the idea of using syllables with out addressing word or syllable stress at this point.
I am the music man.
There are loads of versions of this, this is the one I like.
I like to move it (move it)
Cos sometimes we just gotta get up and shake it. If you are under 8 this is going to be be much more often. This is gonna help!
Supercalifragilisticexpialidiocious
Whats not useful about this word, syllables, phonics it has it all!
Going to the zoo
go to see the seals, bears monkeys and elephants as part of your lessons on animals.
Let it go:
This doesn't need any introduction whatsoever. I link the one with karaoke words in case there is a student who has never seen it. Ii doubt it)
Digraph song:
Good ones of these are not easy to find, and this one is the best one i have tracked down.
The CH Song:
Funny and random song about this digraph. Kids love it!
The Phonics song:
moving away from the names of the letters to the sounds of the alphabet. MUCH MUCH need for ESL learners. One below this is similar but i prefer this one.
The Phonics Song:
similar but more direct and less of a song. Still effective in introducing the sounds though.
