Alphabetical order examples for third grade students

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🍎 The Alphabet: Remember the order of the letters: A, B, C, all the way to Z!
• 🔎 First Letter: When alphabetizing, look at the *first* letter of each word.
• 🔤 Same First Letter: If words have the same first letter, look at the *second* letter, and so on.
• 💡 Example: Apple comes before Banana because 'A' comes before 'B'.
• 📝 Another Example: Ant comes before Apple because, even though they both start with 'A', 'n' comes before 'p'.
