Social media users appear to be divided as educators are revealing online how they are altering the way in which they teach young students the “ABCs.”<\/p>\n

Different from the classic “Alphabet Song,” the latest version is switched up by separating the letters into different groups and changing the ending to, “Now I will never forget, I know how to say the alphabet.”<\/p>\n

On TikTok, literacy advocate and Florida resident Jessica Farmer shared a video of herself singing the “new” song on her account, @Farmerlovesphonics.<\/p>\n

Her video garnered more than 13,000 reactions.<\/p>\n

Farmer, a Rainbow Phonics lead professional trainer, told Fox News Digital via email that she believes the updated version of the song will be beneficial for literacy development<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Farmer said there are certain aspects of the ABCs that could cause confusion.<\/p>\n

“The traditional alphabet song has a few issues. When sung quickly, the letters ‘LMNOP’ tend to blend together, leading many young children<\/a> to incorrectly believe ‘elemenop’ is a single letter. Additionally, the way \u2018Y and Z\u2019 is sung can sound like \u2018Y N Z,\u2019 which adds an extra, unintended letter to the song,” she said.<\/p>\n

Farmer said the revised version addresses and eliminates problems.<\/p>\n

She added, “It\u2019s worth noting that this version is not actually new; it has been around for decades but hasn’t been as popular as the well-known alphabet song.”<\/p>\n

Many users on TikTok did not seem too fond of the change.<\/p>\n

“As a dyslexic person this \u2026 this is a nightmare,” one woman commented.<\/p>\n

A parent wrote, “I am never teaching my kids<\/a> that.”<\/p>\n

“Why do we have to mess with a good thing? This hits my ear wrong,” another user said.<\/p>\n

One woman said, “ELEMENOPEE FOREVERR.”<\/p>\n

Others came out in support of the change.<\/p>\n

“I actually like this version so much better,” commented one woman.<\/p>\n

Another said, “I love this better, actually. I was so confused as a child [about] what we were saying at \u2018LMNOP\u2019 \u2026 English is my 2nd language too.”<\/p>\n

A Reel on Instagram<\/a> that had over 230,000 likes drew attention to the confusion of “LMNOP” in the “original” song.<\/p>\n

User @mindfulteacherrachel, whose bio notes she is a first-grade teacher, posted herself singing the “new” way, sharing the new groupings to help eliminate uncertainty. The Reel garnered more than 10 million views.<\/p>\n

“It’s true: they changed the alphabet song. But it’s for a good reason,” she captioned the video.<\/p>\n

“LMNOP is the most lit part of the alphabet. Is nothing sacred[?]” one Instagram user commented on @mindfulteacherrachel’s Reel.<\/p>\n

Another woman said, “Oh I understand lol.”<\/p>\n

Farmer said she feels the song change is a step in the right direction for children’s literacy.<\/p>\n

“While the impact may not seem immediate, the goal is to make changes that will ultimately improve literacy rates across the country<\/a>, starting in early childhood,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
