Order alphabetically based on the first letter

Key Notes :

Alphabetical order is a way of arranging words or names in the same order as the letters in the alphabet. It’s like putting things in order from A to Z!

The Alphabet

Let’s remember the alphabet!

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

How to Arrange Words Alphabetically

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Look at the first letter of each word.
2. Think about the alphabet. Which letter comes first?
3. Arrange the words so that the words with letters that come earlier in the alphabet are first.

Practice Example

Let’s arrange these words alphabetically: Cat, Apple, Dog, Elephant, Banana

1. Apple (starts with A)
2. Banana (starts with B)
3. Cat (starts with C)
4. Dog (starts with D)
5. Elephant (starts with E)

So, the words in alphabetical order are: Apple, Banana, Cat, Dog, Elephant
