Love all the ideas you are sharing! Also when teaching the alphabet, make sure you are teaching both the upper and lower case letters. We also believe you should explicitly teach the confusing fonts (like the two lower case letter a, or g, or upper case I – looking like a lower case L).
With those activities and printables I’m definitely sure that learning alphabet is very joyful and effective.
This is truly a blessing! Thank you for compiling all this information in one location.
You’re very welcome, Allison! Thanks for reading!
Im little confuse regarding alphabets n phonics. I mean my she is 3.5 yrs old n she knows all the alphabets now i teach her phonics from a to j but i show her upper case A as A alphabet n then i show her lower case a as phonic n i say A makes a sound of ah (a). Am i doing right? I feel that im doing wrong because this way she is learning that uppercase r alphabets n lowercase r phonics. Is it right?
I don’t think this is a problem if she doesn’t have trouble remembering both upper and lowercase. You might want to play games where she matches the upper and lowercase forms. Personally I associate the sound with both the upper and lowercase letters, and I focus on letter names before sounds. However, some educators start with just the lowercase and teach them as sounds instead of using the letter names. I think with continued exposure your daughter will put the pieces together.
