Summary:
This story incorporates great rhyming into the basic idea of the alphabet. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a kindergarten and first grade classic. Each of the letters has their own personality and while they're climbing up the alphabet tree, they all come tumbling down!

Theme/Skill: Alphabet, Rhyming, Fiction
Grade Level: Pre-K-1

Activities:
Label the classroom or school with letters of the alphabet and take students on a Chicka Chicka alphabet hunt. It will get them out of the classroom and identifying the letters.

Reflection:
When I was student teaching in a 6:1 Autism classroom, one of my students knew this story by heart. We also watched the cartoon version on BookFlix.com and he had the song memorized as well. Even though he didn't know the alphabet cognitively, I knew that he was still having fun and enjoyed the pictures and the stories about each of the letters.
