Questions About Teaching Letter Recognition:
When Does Letter Recognition Start?
Around the age of three or four, children will begin to learn the letters of the alphabet.
They will usually recognize the letters in their names first.
In kindergarten, kids will begin to make the connection between letters and sounds.
What Letters Should I Teach First?
When teaching letter recognition to your kids, you don’t have to introduce them in alphabetical order.
Children have usually seen the letters and heard the sounds in their names, so it is usually easier for them to identify those letters.
The letters in their names will have more meaning and allow them to practice recognizing those letters in different ways too.
