                                       ABC Order (1  and 2  letter)



               Learning objective: Students will be able to arrange the

               words in ABC order.


               Explanation:


                   •  It is an order where words are sorted in alphabetical


                       order by looking at the first letter of each word.

                   •  If first letters are the same in more than one word then

                       we see the second letter.

                   •  If the second letter is same in more than one word,

                       them we look at the third letter.



                       e.g.  – ant, tap, fin, bat              pot, pin, sit, bin


                                  ant, bat, fin, tap                bin, pin, pot, sit


               In pin and pot, both words have first letter ‘p’. So, we see

               the second letter o and i. as ‘i’ comes before ‘o’ , word ‘pin’

               will come before word ‘pot’.





               Learning outcome: Students can arrange the words in ABC

               order.
