Sequence of Teaching Letters

Updated: Mar 16, 2022

Determining the best "sequence" to teach the letters of the alphabet can seem overwhelming, as there is an abundance of variations! I have found the most logical, straightforward and simple sequence includes: starter consonants, ender consonants, 2-sound consonants, remaining consonants, and vowels. I have provided this sequence alongside my TPT Reading-Phonics Weekly Scope & Sequence, which you can check out at: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Kindergarten-Reading-Phonics-Weekly-Scope-Sequence-7316072


Here are the LETTER SEQUENCE details:

  • Starter Consonants: b, t, d, j, k, p, v, z

  • Ender Consonants: f, l, m, n, r, s, x

  • 2-Sound Consonants: c, g

  • Remaining Consonants: h, q, w, y

  • Vowels: a, e, i, o, u (sometimes y)

Of course, there will be numerous daily opportunities to introduce (other) letters along the way, but utilizing a particular sequence certainly makes planning, teaching, and learning more consistent and achievable!


*You may also consider introducing letters with "continuous letter sounds" or "stop letter sounds" in a particular sequence as well:

  • Continuous Letter Sounds: f, m, s, l, n, r, v, w, z

  • Stop Letter Sounds: b, c, d, g, h, j, k, p, t
