Many children have problems learning the letters of the alphabet, especially when they are grouped together into words.

Since letter (and word) recognition depends on understanding a sequence of features, the best way to teach children the sequence of word-making is by guided practice.

Because of this, we partake in a variety of letter “games” that encourage your child to recognize, enunciate, and match the concept of a letter to its print form.

Young children learning letters need vivid, concrete language to understand the abstract component of the written word.

For this activity, we practiced matching cardboard cutouts of letters to the letters in the word B-A-K-E-R.
