The Florida Alphabet by Jack Hartmann helps students learn the alphabet, letter sounds, and fascinating facts about the state of Florida. From alligators and beaches to manatees and sunshine, each letter introduces children to Florida's animals, cities, nature and culture. Singing along encourages phonemic awareness, letter-sound recognition, vocabulary development, and early reading skill while building knowledge and appreciation of the Sunshine State. Jack Hartmann lives in and loves his state of Florida, making this song a special celebration of the state he proudly calls home.
The Florida Alphabet
Words and music by Jack Hartmann © 2026
I love learning about the alphabet
And learning about my state
Learning to say the letter sounds
That help me read each day
I’ll sing this song and do my best
Get ready, get set
Come on, have fun and sing with me
The Florida Alphabet
a/a/ alligator – in Florida’s rivers and lakes
b/b/ beach – where you can have fun, swim and play
c/c/ Cape Canaveral – rocket’s blast up high
d/d/ dolphins – they swim, jump and dive
e/e/ Everglades – is a south Florida prairie marsh
f/f/ frogs, lots of frogs live in Florida’s swamps
g/g/ golf – golf is played all over the state
h/h/ hurricane – bring strong winds and lots of rain
i/i/ iguana – they get real big and run fast
j/j/ juice – Florida orange juice tastes great with breakfast
k/k/ key lime pie, is a real Florida treat
l/l/ lightning – lighting up the sky for all to see
So, I’ll sing this song and do my best
Get ready, get set
Come on, have fun and sing with me
The Florida Alphabet
m/m manatee – they’re gentle and swim so slow
n/n/ Naples – is a favorite place for tourists to go
o/o/ osprey –they fly from dawn to dark

I love learning about the alphabet
And learning about my state
Learning to say the letter sounds
That help me read each day
I’ll sing this song and do my best
Get ready, get set
Come on, have fun and sing with me
