How to Teach Your Child Letters of the Alphabet

small thing a parent can do to teach a toddler the alphabet at a young age. Sometimes a challenge but, this should help!

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• flash cards
• tv
• magnets

1. First, try to find flash cards that appeal to your child. something knowledgeable but fun at the same time. Usually i would look for picture cards with different colors. If your child doesn't like the flash cards he/she wont want to participate.

2. Next, let your child watch more educational TV, like some Dora the explorer, all those shows that slowly teach different early concepts of school. This helps your child get ahead of other toddlers because they understand more and learn to use there imagination.

3. Then, look for magnets with the letters of the alphabet. Use them to help your child learn the letters and eventually spell words. Try to make it as fun as possible. Toddlers only like to do things that are fun for them.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have trouble, try to reward your child with a small piece of candy. the candy means that you liked what they said and they are quicker to remember the letters.
• no real warnings, just something to help.
