ABC Nursery Rhyme with Fruit Pictures | Three Letters in a Row from P to R, A-Z

This fruit nursery rhyme sings through the whole alphabet from A to Z, and it slows down for three neighboring letters that beginning readers often find tricky: P, Q, and R. Pineapple stands for P, quince for Q, and raspberry for R, each with a clear picture and a sung letter sound. Beginning readers learn to sound out a word one piece at a time, and these fruit names make good practice. The rhyme sings the first sound of each name slowly, then the rest of the word, so children can hear how the pieces fit together. Pineapple starts with a small pop of the lips, quince starts with a “kw” sound, and raspberry starts with a rolling “r.” Each one is clearly different, which helps children tell the letters apart. The Q is worth special attention. Most children have never met a word that starts with Q, so quince gives them a clear, memorable example of the “kw” sound. Seeing the letter Q on screen beside a yellow quince while the sound is sung helps the shape and the sound stay together. abc, a to z, a - z, alphabet, phonics, nursery rhyme, fruits, pineapple, quince, raspberry, p is for pineapple, q is for quince, r is for raspberry, letters p q r, kw sound for q, popping p sound, rolling r sound, sound out each fruit, beginner reader fruit words, spiky fuzzy and tart fruits
