Every letter, every sound
In first grade, alphabet knowledge needs to be lightning fast. Kids name every uppercase and lowercase letter and say its sound without stopping to think. They write lowercase letters neatly, starting at the top, and tell tricky look-alikes apart, like b, d, p, q. They know which letters are vowels and which are consonants, and they put words in ABC order by the first letter. All that speed frees their brains to focus on reading words. The click moment comes when a child stops pausing at letters and just reads.
Fast letter knowledge makes reading easier. These moves build speed and accuracy.
Play a letter song collection during transitions and have kids say the sound each time a letter appears. Quick, playful repetition builds automatic letter-sound knowledge.

First graders should name all uppercase and lowercase letters quickly, know each letter's sound, write lowercase letters correctly, and put words in ABC order by first letter.
Letter sounds should be automatic, with no pause. Quick letter knowledge frees kids to focus on blending sounds and understanding what they read.
Teach a trick like making a "bed" with your fists (b on the left, d on the right). Practice in short bursts, and use lots of reading and writing. Most kids outgrow it by 2nd grade.
Yes, especially for speed and lowercase writing. Even kids who know their letters benefit from quick daily practice to become faster readers.
