How Can Preschoolers Learn About Letters?

HOW TO TEACH THE ALPHABET TO PRESCHOOLERS

Teaching preschoolers letters can be a rewarding task. Seeing those bright eyes light up when they finally notice the letters in their name is a heart warming feeling. Learning the alphabet can also be a difficult task for some learners. It’s important to really know the best way the child learns.

While I don’t recommend a full ‘letter of the week’ approach, it is a great idea to do a variety of alphabet activities and start with a letter that is in your children’s names or teaching the letters in a sequence that quickly builds reading abilities.

• Include exciting alphabet songs and movement activities that focus on letters.
• Display the alphabet with pictures low enough for children to freely see them.
• Start a word wall and add in a few words at a time. Review each word with the students and include pictures that are familiar to them.
• Label items throughout the child’s learning space. Make sure there is also a visual included with the words.
• Grab a variety of magnetic letters, place the posters or smaller letter cards. on a cookie sheet and have the kids sort the magnetic letters using the posters to build letter matching skills.
