Alphabet

One of the first steps in becoming a successful reader is to learn to recognize the letters of the alphabet.

The alphabetic principle teaches that spoken language is represented by written words that are made up of varying combinations of letters, and that these letters and combinations of them make up all of the sounds in spoken language. Attaching sounds to these letters and learning to write them paves the way to successful reading and writing.

Reading A-Z provides a number of downloadable resources to help teachers, parents, and caregivers teach the alphabetic principle.
