Learning the alphabet should be a fun and engaging experience for little one! As children recognize letters by sight and sound, they are building foundational literacy skills that are very important. This guide is best used after children explore the "Learn My Name" curriculum guide which covers how to introduce the writing of letters.
 
In the field of early education, there is some debate about how, when and where to teach the alphabet. In my opinion, children learn best when they are ready, excited, and supported by developmentally appropriate curriculum that fits into their lives organically...just like the one you are holding in your hands right now! Learning the alphabet takes time and lots of repetition. Model patience and honor your child's abilities, knowing that they are hardwired to learn and are constantly doing so!
 
A few areas of focus in the Alphabet Adventures Guide are:
Developing an awareness of words (print) in our every day environment
Exploring letters with hands-on experiments and play
Building fine motor skills to help support children in writing the letters they learn
Meaningfully learning the value of letters and words.
