A is for a lot of fun!
Preschool is where the alphabet comes alive. Kids sing the ABC song, start to recognize uppercase letters, and spot the letters in their own name first. Little by little, they match uppercase to lowercase and learn that each letter makes a sound: B says /b/ like ball. They also trace and try writing a few letters. The big step is moving from singing the song as one long word to knowing each letter on its own, and that L, M, N, O and P are five different letters!
Little learners pick up letters through music, movement and games. These are our go-to moves.
Pick one letter song for the week and sing it every morning. Hold up the letter card and have kids make the sound together. A song per letter gives each one its own personality, so kids stop blurring them together.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withLetter A Song (Original Music Video)SongsOpen it →Play a short letter game right after the song. Kids find, tap or catch the letter of the week. Two or three minutes is plenty for little attention spans.
Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).
Try it withLetter A GameGamesOpen it →Give kids a set of uppercase letter pieces to match onto a mat. Start with just five letters, including the first letter of their name. Small sets build confidence, and you can add more as they master them.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

There's no single number. Many 4-year-olds recognize several letters, especially the ones in their name, and many know most uppercase letters by the end of preschool. Progress varies a lot at this age.
Many preschool teachers start with uppercase because the letters are easier to tell apart and write. Then they introduce lowercase as kids are ready, matching each pair.
Keep it playful and short. Sing letter songs, point out letters on signs and books, and start with the letters in your child's name. A few minutes every day beats a long lesson.
Most children learn to recognize and name most letters between ages 4 and 6. Preschool is about building interest and familiarity, and kindergarten finishes the job.
