ABC’s and More (Letter Knowledge)
 
Letter Knowledge is the awareness that the same letter can look different, that letters have names and are related to sounds. Help your child develop this skill by:  
 
Birth to 18 months
  • Pointing out letters and shapes in toys or anything around the house.
  • Playing with balls or blocks, toys with different shapes.
  • Describing what your child sees – blue round ball, small plate, bigger plate.
  • Singing alphabet songs.
 
19 months to 3 years
  • Pointing out letters everywhere: in books, signs, cereal boxes.
  • Talking about how things are alike and different.
  • Playing with puzzles.
  • Writing your child’s name; pointing out and naming each letter of his name.
  • Sharing simple alphabet books with your child.
 
3 to 5 years
  • Playing with your child using upper and lower case letter magnets.
  • Reading alphabet books and talking about the letters.
  • Talking about the letters in words of interest to your child.
  • Playing with puzzles.
