Rachel Platt went viral on TikTok for explaining the new way kids are learning their ABCs. She talks exclusively with PEOPLE about how it's helping support young learners.

The newer, modified version of the ABC's song we all grew up singing may be hard for parents to grasp, but it's designed to help kids learn better.

I tell them, ‘Hey, we’re going to sing the ABC song in a silly way.’ And they’re like, ‘OK!’ They don’t even clock it,” said Fodor, who has been teaching kindergarten since 2018.
