Teaching the alphabet to kids can be as easy!
The first place that you want to start, especially if your kids are new to English, is with the ABC song. Sing it as often as possible. Sing it whenever you have a free moment--when waiting for lunch, or the toilet, or other students to finish washing their hands--anytime! This is one of the easiest songs for kids to learn and it will soon become one of their favorites. They are very proud when they can sing this song and they will start to ask to be able to sing it.
When the kids know the ABC song, start pointing to each letter when you sing the song. They'll start to figure out that each letter name has a visual letter that goes along with it. Once your kids know the song, and have understood the concept that there is a visual representation that goes along with the name, you can move on to more advanced work. This is the letter learning process that I have gone through with my kids when teaching the alphabet.
I hope that these ideas help get you started on the right track for teaching the alphabet to kids. As always, make any adjustments that you need to keep your kids interested.
You'll find an example of a video that can help you with the song. Good luck! :)
