Intro to
ABC order
• We can put words in a special
order called alphabetical order.
• The first letter of the word is
used to tell where the word
would appear in ABC order.
Look at these words:
Box
Car
Apple
The word apple would come first in
ABC order because a comes before
b or c in the alphabet.
