Letter Recognition

Each page features a large set of letters made from playdough. As you present your child with an alphabet mat, have them identify the letters (uppercase and lowercase).

You can also have them trace the letter with their fingers for a little letter formation practice.

Motor Skills

Present your child with some playdough. Have your child pinch, roll, and manipulate the playdough to form the letters on the page.

They can lay the playdough “snakes” on the letter outlines, or they can build them freehand on the table.

Beginning Sounds

At the bottom of each page, there are three objects that begin with the featured letter (except X which includes the word “six”).

Have your preschooler name each object. Be sure to help them exaggerate the beginning sound so they can hear it clearly.

Preschoolers can then use the playdough to build one or all of those objects for more motor skills practice.

Handwriting Practice

In the top right corner of each page is an outline of each letter featuring tracing lines and directional arrows.

Kids can use their fingers or dry erase markers to trace each letter.

Alphabet Books

Alphabet books are a great way to help preschoolers and kindergarteners learn their letters. And they don’t have to be boring, either!

There are all sorts of fun and engaging alphabet books out there, from books that teach the letters through rhyming verses to books that feature adorable animals.

Alphabet books can also be a great way for parents and caregivers to bond with their little ones. Reading together is always a special time, and it’s even more special when you’re sharing a book that’s helping your child learn something new.

So whether you’re looking for a gift for a preschooler in your life or you just want to add some new titles to your home library, be sure to check out some alphabet books for kids!
