Point out letters when you see them, such as signs at the store, words on buses and labels on packaging. Tell your child nursery rhymes and sing songs. Talk about sounds you hear multiple times in the songs.
Teach your child the letters in his or her name. Starting with something their familiar with makes learning more meaningful.
Give your child plent of practices with shappes, sounds, and letters.
Make your own alphabet book about something your child enjoys. Take photos or draw pictures for each letter of the alphabet. Write the letter on each page. If your child can’t quite make the letter on her own, draw it first; then have him trace it.
Give your children room to grow and explore as they start to learn their ABC’s.
Make letter practice fun. Put shaving cream or flour on a baking sheet, and let your child draw letters in the material. Another option is to make the shape of the letter on the floor with painter’s tape. Encourage your child to drive toy cars over the letter.
