- Order practice benefits from variety. The bundle has many formats, so you can come at 'before' with cards, games and a quick check.
The problem
What comes before b? He knows c comes after, but 'before' is backwards
Going forward in the alphabet is easy because the song goes that way. Going backward means leaving the song and thinking about the line of letters.
Backwards is harder
The alphabet song only goes forward. 'Before' asks a child to step back, which the tune never practices.
Look-alike lowercase
b and d, or p and q, swap places easily. Lowercase letters with mirror shapes make the task trickier.
Seeing the pattern
With prompts like __ b c, children need to look at what follows and think about what came first.
Each page shows two lowercase letters with a blank before them. Children use the letters that follow to work out the one that came first.

Questions
Before you buy.
Why does 'before' matter?
It shows a child understands the line of letters, not only the song. Thinking backward is the sign the order is truly learned.
Is it lowercase only?
This one is lowercase, which children see most in books. There's a separate uppercase version for capitals.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PowerPoint file you can open in Google Slides.
Can I share it with my class?
Yes — one teacher can use it with their own students, this year and next. Sharing the file with other teachers needs a separate license.
Do I need Google Slides?
No. The file is a PowerPoint (.pptx). It opens in PowerPoint, and in Google Slides once you upload it to Google Drive.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email support@pencillane.com within 30 days and we refund the full $4.50. No form, no questions.
