How Can You Help?

• Encourage your child to say the letter sounds along with the learning

toy. Your child could practice by saying, "The name of the letter is B.

The sound of the letter is buh."

• This skill takes lots and lots of practice. Remember to remain positive and

praise your child when he or she can tell you the sound of a given letter.

• In everyday situations, have your child tell you what letter a certain

object begins with. Repeat the word slowly for your child by really

accentuating the beginning letter. Have your child tell you what sound

that letter makes.
