Guide To ABC's
Learning the alphabet is the first step children take towards literacy. Knowing letters, and letter sounds early on can help children get a firmer grasp on new words. The alphabet is the foundation children draw from and soon the letter sounds turn into words when they blend them together. Kindergarten is when most kids first begin learning the alphabet, but you can always start teaching your kids early. Children can begin learning letters and phonics as soon they are speaking fluently. Teach your kids the alphabet through various forms of wordplay that include online games, lesson plans and more.
