Letters, sounds, and lots of singing
Preschool phonics is all about getting to know the letters. Kids learn to recognize uppercase and lowercase letters, sing the alphabet, and start matching letters to their sounds, like B says /b/ like ball. They notice the first sound in their own name and in favorite words, play with rhymes, and clap syllables. This is not about reading yet. It is about building a strong, happy foundation so letters and sounds feel familiar when kindergarten begins.
Preschoolers learn with their whole bodies. These moves use songs, games and play.
Introduce each letter with its own song and a simple motion, like crunching an apple for A. Sing it all week and revisit old songs often. Preschoolers will be singing letter sounds at home without being asked.
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 quick letter game right after the song, finding the letter and saying its sound. Short, playful practice keeps little ones engaged and builds recognition fast.
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 uppercase and lowercase letter cards to match on the table. Start with letters in their names, then add more. Matching builds visual recognition before writing.
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.

Yes, in a playful way. Preschoolers benefit from learning letter names and sounds through songs, games and books.
By the end of preschool, many children recognize most uppercase letters, some lowercase letters, and several letter sounds, especially the letters in their own name.
Start with the letters in your child's name and common letters like s, m, a and t. There is no single right order.
Sing alphabet songs, point out letters on signs and labels, and play "I spy something that starts with /m/."
