A fun way to help your preschooler build strong letter-sound recognition is by sharing what are called “ABC books.” An ABC book is a book where each letter of the alphabet appears on a separate page along with a colorful picture that begins with the letter being featured on the page. As the book progresses, children see each letter along with one or more words that being with the specific letter. By helping your child learn to recognize the letter, it’s shape and the primary sound it makes, you are helping your child become more aware of the sounds of our language. The stronger your child becomes in this skill, the better reader he or she will become so be sure to share lots of ABC books with your preschooler!
