Learning the names and sounds of alphabet letters is an important preschool skill that supports learning to read. An alphabet chart is a great teaching tool you can use to support your child’s early literacy development.

Learn how you can interact with your child, using your Connect4Learning Alphabet Chart.

• Sing an alphabet song with your child as you point to each letter.
• Name letters, one at a time, for your child to point to.
• Point to letters, one at a time, for your child to name.
• Point to letters, one at a time, and ask your child to say its sound.
• Point to letters, one at a time, and ask your child to say a word that starts with that letter. If your child says the word that is pictured on the chart (dog for Dd), ask for another word starting with that same letter.
