FAQ’s

There are so many different things to consider when you first start teaching the alphabet. But the easiest first step is to start with the alphabet song. If your toddler can sing, they can learn this song.

Find a phonics program that works for you. If you don’t know where to start, try the Letters and Sounds Phonics Program. It will show you which order to learn the letters (which isn’t alphabetical order) as well as give you free resources and ideas to get you started.

Practice phonemic awareness through alphabet games and activities, as well as sound activities.

Once the children know all the letters and some digraphs, you can start introducing sight words for them to memorize. And show them how to blend sounds together to make whole words.

With a program to follow and some simple steps, you can teach your kids to read in no time.

Letter formation and writing the alphabet correctly can be tricky for some preschoolers to learn. Start by breaking down the letters into the different letters shapes (eg, circle, line or curve). And practice each of these individually before taking on the entire letter as a whole. 

Then explore where the right place to start is. Some letters (like the letter A) can have different formations that work just as well as each other.

Finally, practice makes perfect. Letter tracing worksheets, or boards are a wonderful way to get in some practice with a pen or pencil.
