Letter Recognition

Each page features a large uppercase letter of the alphabet made of crayon graphics. It’s a great way to work on letter recognition as your child names and builds the alphabet with crayons.

Color Matching

Have your child match the colors as they lay real crayons on top of the crayon graphics on each page.

Colors

As your child lays each crayon on the page, can they name the colors? You can use generic color words like light blue and dark blue. Or, you can use this opportunity to introduce new color words like turquoise, aqua, magenta, etc.

Letter Formation

After building the letter and marking each color on the correct line, children will trace the letter on the dotted line.

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.
