If you’d like to build your preschooler’s literacy skills, make sure that you don’t forget about helping them know capital letters.

WHY PRESCHOOLERS SHOULD KNOW CAPITAL LETTERS

Preschooler’s usually start out learning capital letters because they are the easiest to learn. Preschooler’s fine motor skills are usually formed well enough to move on from scribbles to capital letters, before being ready for lower case letters. Capital letters are also easier to differentiate, as many lower case letters can look the same to children.

Preschooler’s will usually learn the alphabet song before being able to identify a few letters by sight. By the age of 5, preschooler’s can usually identify 23-26 letters and their sounds.

For more information on developmentally appropriate ways for your preschooler to learn their letters click here.

    These skills are great and I really like the fact that they have shown so many different ways to explain, demonstrate and execute to the child how to write their name. My favorite above all is the “salt” example because there are many other leaning skills tied into one and the child can use their five senses to achieve it. Thank You , I will probably use them ALL. Loved it.

    I have been teaching for over 23 years and some of these ideas are new and fresh so I am looking forwards to trying them with the kids. I know when I’m excited, the kids get excited too! Fun activities are in our future! Thanks for the ideas!
