Alphabet Awareness

 

In order for children to learn how to read, children must be aware of the sounds that the letters represent. To increase alphabet awareness, teachers and parents should increase child awareness of letters. 

*Point out the letter on a page when reading
*Use flashcards or word tiles to help the child recognize the letters
*Practice primary letter sounds, not just the letter names



 

Written words use symbols, the alphabet, to represent sound. In English, each letter can have multiple sounds. Understanding primary sounds of the letters is a first step in reading that even young learners can master.
