15 Ways to Teach Your Preschooler the Alphabet

 15 ways to teach your child the alphabet. When it comes to learning the alphabet I do not go in order. For example, I want my child to learn his name first and how to write it before I do the whole alphabet.

This seems more natural to me. Secondly, when I teach my son I try not to spend too much time looking at milestones and compare what he’s doing with what others are doing.

“Naturally we want what is best for our child”

I set up the best environment for learning for my toddler. Finding new ways to teach my son is super fun for me.  I love watching him play and learn, it makes my heart happy.

Finally, here are 15 ways to teach your child the Alphabet.

Name Puzzles

Create your own name puzzle. Or buy a customized name puzzle.

Sticker name

Get some stickers and have your child decorate their name on a piece of paper.

Create letters out of objects around the house

Use paper, leaves, cotton balls, pom poms, newspaper, magazine cut-outs, and much more.
