ABC Adventures
Early experiences with letters of the alphabet are an important step toward reading. The most important rule to remember when teaching young children the alphabet is to make sure that learning is fun. If you can provide lessons that use the five senses, and integrate games, crafts, food, or songs then your child will be a willing and enthusiastic participant. The idea is to make the letters of the alphabet come alive for your child.
At the beginning of next year, Connor and I are going to embark on our journey to learn the alphabet. To be honest, I have been looking forward to this for quite some time and am excited that my child is going to take his first steps towards becoming a reader.
If you have a child and are teaching them the letters of the alphabet, join in the fun and share your ABC Adventures. Don't forget to include information about your arts and crafts, learning centres, games, recipes, songs and rhymes, and books read. By sharing our activities and experiences we can then pick and choose what we think will work for our children.
