Early Literacy Skill: Letter Knowledge

For Babies, simple puzzles that use letters and board books that introduce the concept are great. For Toddlers, sing the alphabet song; give them letters that are foam or plastic magnets; point out the first letter in their name and all the common things that begin with the same letter. For Pre-Schoolers, have them practice writing their own name, or pick a letter and see how many things that they can name that begin with that letter.

This week's Early Litearacy Skill: Letter Knowledge

A good way to help your child become more familiar with their letters is to have them associate a letter with an object. Start with their name and use the first letter like "J' for Jamie and then work on assigning letters to other everyday objects, such as "B" for blanket.
