Chicka Chicka Boom Boom was written by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault and illustrated by Lois Ehlert. It was published by Simon and Schuster in 1989. It features an anthropomorphized alphabet as an early childhood book. I think this is a good source for teaching the alphabet because the story is cute and it goes through the entire alphabet twice, once in order and another time mixed up. Ehlert showed the letters in their lowercase and capitalized forms.
This book is geared towards kindergarten children and younger. After reading the book with them, I would go through each letter separately (uppercase & lowercase). The link below is for printable flashcards.
RF. K.1.d. Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
Another fun activity to do with your students or child is to make chicka boom boom trees and incorporate the letters of each child's name on the tree. It helps them become familiar with how their name looks and which letters are theirs.
