Teaching the Alphabet:

Alphabet letter activities for preschool need to engage students far beyond the traditional ABC song or alphabet printables. Children need to interact with fun, active learning to keep them interested.

Learning letters and sounds takes patience and practice! When non-readers look at the letters of the alphabet, they see shapes consisting of lines and curves. It’s helpful for teachers to take a step back and remember that it takes a lot of repetition before preschoolers begin to recognize and remember the names of each letter.

Alphabet activities, worksheets, and coloring pages should be fun ways to expose young minds to the letters in meaningful ways.

Alphabet crafts are a great way to help children learn letters while working on dexterity by gutting, coloring, and gluing. It also gives kids a finished product to share and be proud of. This will make it more likely for them to remember the letter(s)!
