When five-year old Luisa writes her name, she proudly announces each letter in turn and carefully adds a curlicue for good measure. “It’s cursive,” she explains. Luisa recognizes that these lines and shapes are something special and delights in her growing knowledge of the alphabet. As Luisa continues to learn about letters, she will develop the alphabet recognition skills that are essential for learning to read. Luisa is happily on her way to becoming a reader and building a strong foundation that predicts future school success.

Alphabet recognition—knowing the names for letters and the sounds they represent—begins for many young children with the familiar song, “A, B, C, D, E, F, G… . ” As children sing the alphabet song again and again, they learn the letter names, an important first step for alphabet recognition. But children also need to learn the printed form of each letter (uppercase and lowercase, in and out of sequence) and the most frequent sound each letter represents. Research shows that speed and accuracy are two important factors in alphabet recognition. Children who can recognize letters with speed and accuracy can more efficiently focus on sound-letter relationships as they learn to read (Adams, 1990; as cited in Blevins, 2006). Over-learning the letters—their names, shapes, and sounds—is recommended for achieving this goal.

Instant Practice Packets: Alphabet provides the repeated practice children need to thoroughly learn the letters of the alphabet. These ready-to-go, reproducible packets—one for each letter—are designed to help children build a foundation for early reading success. The format and sequence of activities on the pages support children in working independently.

Teaching Tip

Pages 1 and 2 of each packet feature letter- formation practice. For children who are left-handed, consider writing the target letter at the end (right side) of each practice line to provide a model they can easily see as they trace and write the letters.
