A for Apple, A for Ant (Two Word ABC Phonics Song) Nursery Rhyme Lyrics with Printable


There are many versions of the ABC Phonics nursery rhyme. This one is commonly known as A for Apple, A for Ant or the phonics song with two words.

It is a fun song for kids that teaches about the letters of the alphabet. The song mentions each letter using objects, that begin with each letter, also sounding them out phonetically.

You don’t always have to stick to the conventional words in the lyrics. Substitute the objects for each letter as you see fit to teach kids about multiple different things as long as they start with the letter and use the phonetic sound. (For example, you wouldn’t say C for Cat and C for City as the C sounds different phonetically in both words!)
