00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:09.059
alphabetical order for kids

4
00:00:09.059 --> 00:00:11.639
hey kids so by now you've learned the

5
00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:14.040
alphabet you know your ABCs from your

6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.100
one two threes which is fantastic that

7
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:19.199
means you can say all the letters that

8
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.820
make up all the words in the English

9
00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:22.920
language in the order that they appear

10
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.199
in the alphabet right

11
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:27.539
you may have learned the alphabet from a

12
00:00:27.539 --> 00:00:29.539
song like this

13
00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:40.860
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t

14
00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:44.479
u v w x

15
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.378
y and z

16
00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:51.600
or you may have learned them from a toy

17
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.340
or a game that your parents bought you

18
00:00:53.340 --> 00:00:55.800
or you may have just been born knowing

19
00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:57.300
the alphabet

20
00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:01.079
well probably not but either way you

21
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:02.760
have knowledge of this most important

22
00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:05.339
element of speaking writing and spelling

23
00:01:05.339 --> 00:01:07.500
the letters that make up the English

24
00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:09.000
language

25
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.640
so the question is now that you know the

26
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.159
alphabet are you able to put things into

27
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.700
alphabetical order alphabetical order is

28
00:01:17.700 --> 00:01:20.759
defined as a method in which names terms

29
00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:22.979
or words are arranged in the same order

30
00:01:22.979 --> 00:01:25.438
as the letters of the alphabet in other

31
00:01:25.438 --> 00:01:27.540
words being able to put them into

32
00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:30.060
alphabetical order means being able to

33
00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:31.920
identify the first letter of the group

34
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.438
of words and then organizing those words

35
00:01:34.438 --> 00:01:36.360
in the correct order

36
00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:39.299
let's start with the basics as you may

37
00:01:39.299 --> 00:01:41.759
know everything in the world from

38
00:01:41.759 --> 00:01:44.100
objects around you to people's names to

39
00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:46.680
things like ideas they all start with

40
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.720
the letter of the alphabet your name

41
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:52.079
your dog's name your friends names the

42
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.420
items of clothes you're wearing all the

43
00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:57.000
stuff in your house these are all things

44
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.159
that you can use a word to describe and

45
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.079
every one of those words starts with a

46
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:02.040
letter

47
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:06.960
foot Table Pizza car School

48
00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:09.060
they all start with the letter and can

49
00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:11.459
be put into alphabetical order but let's

50
00:02:11.459 --> 00:02:13.800
start with this list of animals

51
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:14.940
shark

52
00:02:14.940 --> 00:02:16.200
horse

53
00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:17.459
cat

54
00:02:17.459 --> 00:02:18.900
rhino

55
00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:20.280
Pig

56
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:21.660
elephant

57
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:23.459
octopus

58
00:02:23.459 --> 00:02:25.500
all these words start with the letter

59
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:26.580
right

60
00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:30.360
shark starts with s horse with h cat

61
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.639
with C Rhino with r Pig with P elephant

62
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.180
with an E an octopus with an O

63
00:02:39.180 --> 00:02:42.419
right now these words are definitely not

64
00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:44.160
in alphabetical order

65
00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:45.599
how do we know

66
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.180
let's take the first word shark it

67
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:49.680
starts with s

68
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.319
how about the second word horse it

69
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:53.940
starts with H

70
00:02:53.940 --> 00:02:56.879
think back to that alphabet song or

71
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.919
however else you learn the alphabet

72
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.099
where does s fall in that song What

73
00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:03.360
About h

74
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.860
as you can see s comes after H so going

75
00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:10.319
back to our list of animals shark should

76
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.300
come after horse when we alphabetize

77
00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:16.019
them what about fish that starts with f

78
00:03:16.019 --> 00:03:19.319
which means fish should come before

79
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.560
shark and horse because F comes before

80
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.860
both H and S and the alphabet and Cat

81
00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:28.980
since that word starts with c it would

82
00:03:28.980 --> 00:03:31.560
come before all of them starting to make

83
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:32.519
sense

84
00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:35.519
so put in shark horse fish and Cat in

85
00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:37.140
alphabetical order would mean

86
00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:39.720
rearranging them so they look like this

87
00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:40.860
cat

88
00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:45.239
fish horse shark now you're getting it

89
00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:49.019
if we add in Rhino elephant dog and

90
00:03:49.019 --> 00:03:53.280
octopus the list would Now read cat dog

91
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.140
elephant

92
00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:57.599
fish horse

93
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.440
octopus and shark that's because in the

94
00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:05.519
alphabet seed comes before d d before e

95
00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:11.700
e before f f before H HP4 o and O before

96
00:04:11.700 --> 00:04:14.220
s and so on

97
00:04:14.220 --> 00:04:16.620
CE you remember that you always have to

98
00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:18.479
go back to your original list of letters

99
00:04:18.479 --> 00:04:21.419
that you already know you can put almost

100
00:04:21.419 --> 00:04:25.259
anything in alphabetical order

101
00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:27.540
you may have figured out by now that

102
00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:30.419
there's a catch what happens if you have

103
00:04:30.419 --> 00:04:32.339
a list of words that all start with the

104
00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:34.199
same letter and you want to put those

105
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.860
into alphabetical order now what

106
00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:40.199
for example what happens if your animal

107
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.120
list is cheetah cat Cow crocodile and

108
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:48.120
chipmunk they all start with c

109
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.540
well here's a simple rule if the first

110
00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:53.880
letter of the group of words is the same

111
00:04:53.880 --> 00:04:57.360
in this case C then we need to take a

112
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.160
look at the second letter in each word

113
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.400
and use those to alphabetize the list in

114
00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:06.000
our list above our second letters are H

115
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:10.380
and cheetah a and Cat o and cow are in

116
00:05:10.380 --> 00:05:13.919
crocodile and H in chipmunk so putting

117
00:05:13.919 --> 00:05:16.080
them in alphabetical order you'd start

118
00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:18.779
with cat since the second letter is a

119
00:05:18.779 --> 00:05:21.360
then go to cheetah because the second

120
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.500
letter is H then wait a minute the

121
00:05:25.500 --> 00:05:28.500
second letter in chipmunk is also H so

122
00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:30.839
how do we handle that go to the third

123
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.320
letter which is I so cheetah would come

124
00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:36.779
second and chipmunk would come third

125
00:05:36.779 --> 00:05:39.120
because the E and cheetah comes before

126
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.300
the iron chipmunk then we'd have cow and

127
00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:44.880
then crocodile make sense

128
00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:46.860
can you put the following items of

129
00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:49.139
clothing in alphabetical order

130
00:05:49.139 --> 00:05:52.259
Jew hat

131
00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:55.320
underwear jacket

132
00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:57.479
I'll give you a minute

133
00:05:57.479 --> 00:06:03.660
that's right it's hat jacket shoe sock

134
00:06:03.660 --> 00:06:05.520
underwear

135
00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:09.120
okay how about this list Tech

136
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:10.199
tell

137
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.660
tiny tissue

138
00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:14.240
television

139
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:19.520
you got it it's Tech television tell

140
00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:22.020
tiny tissue

141
00:06:22.020 --> 00:06:24.419
did you see how in that list you had to

142
00:06:24.419 --> 00:06:27.000
go to the fourth letter to put tell and

143
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.000
television in order well done I think

144
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.160
you've got the hang of it the more you

145
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.160
practice the better you'll do soon

146
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.020
you'll be arranging everything in

147
00:06:37.020 --> 00:06:39.419
alphabetical order hope you had fun
