Educational object

I have come to the decision that I want to look at the alphabet as a teaching opportunity, I feel that by looking at alphabet charts and various other things that teach children letters it will give me an insight of the market of my target audience. 

I started by making a list of words for each letter of the alphabet that are memorable for children of a young age and decided to put them together to create a short story, I did this because I believe that by telling a story to child, it is more likely to stay in their memory instead of just giving them a list of words.


Here is my short story...
Once upon a time there was an ANGEL carrying a BALLOON, she visited a CASTLE where there was a DRAGON holding an ENVELOPE.
She climbed a FENCE, went through the GRASS and over the HILL where she found an INSECT that she caught in a JAR and gave to the King.
He gave the angel a KEY for box with a LOCK that had in it, a MIRROR and a NECKLACE that was shaped like an OVAL and belonged to the princess.
It was kept in her POCKET until she found the QUEEN who gave her a ROCKET for her to reach the STARS.
The angel then stood under a TREE with an UMBRELLA while she listened to a VIOLIN and with a wave of her magic WAND the sound of a XYLOPHONE was heard.

Finally she played with her YO-YO as she ZIG-ZAGED home.


I think that by using each highlighted word as a representation of the letters of the alphabet, I could knit a piece for each letter so it could be used as individual pieces, displayed on a classroom wall, or pieced together to create a learning mat or blanket.
