Presentation of the alphabet in uppercase and lowercase
Teaching objectives

Learn about the words that start with the corresponding alphabet

How to use
Present one alphabet at a time
Teach your child the name of each letter and point to each picture that begins with the corresponding letter
Encourage your child to use crayons or dot markers to colour in the circle with the alphabet letter and recite the letter
Point and recite each picture with your child “A is for ant, A is for alligator” and have your child repeat after you if possible
Allow your child to be creative with his colouring!
Teaching tips
Use a variety of colouring materials - colour pencils, markers, crayons, dot-a-dot markers, paint
Sing a familiar and catchy tune to introduce the different pictures to each alphabet!
Guide your child’s finger to trace the different stroke of each alphabet
If your child is not able to hold the colour pencil in a tripod position yet, it’s ok! You can...
- have him use a thick pencil/marker or a small broken piece of crayon to develop his grip
- shape his fingers to hold the pencil/marker in the correct position
- be fun and encouraging!
- It’s ok if he is not colouring within the lines yet. The objective now would be to colour with pressure.
