How Can Free Printable Alphabet Posters Support Early Reading Skills?
Kids need to know their letters in order to learn letter sounds and eventually blend sounds together to form words. Besides providing some beautiful wall art, what else can these free alphabet printables pdf posters help with?
Background Knowledge
When students understand letters of the alphabet and can name and match them, they have a lot of knowledge to draw from when they start learning letter sounds and basic decoding.
Connect with Nature
Searching for acorns among the falling leaves brings a natural element into an otherwise academic activity. Kids can connect with nature while you prepare the letter activity, making it a special time.
Connect Letters to Words
Learning letter names helps children make important connections, like each letter stands for a particular sound and when we string them together it makes a word.
Increases Automaticity
The more activities and games children play while learning letter names/sounds helps them develop automaticity. The easier it is to recall and match letter names/sounds, the easier it will be to learn to read.
