From A to Z, one letter at a time
Learning the alphabet is really three jobs: knowing each letter's name, its shape in uppercase and lowercase, and its sound. Most kids start with the letters in their own name, and uppercase letters usually come before lowercase. By the end of kindergarten, kids can name all 26 letters both ways and give each one its sound: B b says /b/ like ball. The big click is realizing those sounds build words. Watch out for the tricky twins, b and d or p and q!
These are the moves we use with every new group of little learners. Each one comes with a resource you can grab right here.
Every new letter gets the same routine: say the name, make the sound, then find it in a word. The Letter A Game lets kids practice all three while they play. Keep the routine identical for each letter so kids can focus on the letter, not the directions.
Why it works: teaching letter sounds directly and in order is one of the best-supported findings in reading research (National Reading Panel, 2000).
Try it withLetter A GameGamesOpen it →Lay out uppercase cards and have kids hunt for each lowercase partner. Start with look-alike pairs like Cc, Oo and Ss, then tackle the tricky ones like Gg and Rr. Kids move, sort and talk about shapes, which beats just tracing.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
Try it withAlphabet Uppercase Letter Matching ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Do a quick one-on-one letter check to see which letters each child really knows. Then skip the letters they have and spend practice time on the missing ones. Five targeted letters beat reviewing all 26 again.
Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Most kids learn letter names between ages 3 and 5, and by the end of kindergarten they are expected to name all upper and lowercase letters and know their sounds. Every child moves at their own pace, so focus on steady progress.
Teach them together. Saying "This is B, and it says /b/" each time helps kids connect the name to the sound they will need for reading.
Teach one at a time, and give each a memory trick, like making a "bed" with your fists: the b is the headboard, the d is the footboard. Reversals are very normal in preschool and kindergarten.
You don't have to go A to Z. Many teachers start with the letters in a child's name or with easy, common sounds like m, s, a and t so kids can start making words sooner.
Go on a letter hunt in cereal boxes and signs, sing an alphabet song in the car, or play a quick letter game before bed. A few minutes every day beats one long session.
