Explore Letter Recognition and


Letter-Sound Correspondence
Once children recognize sounds, the
next step is reading instruction that
focuses on connecting letters and
sounds to form words. Letter recognition
is one of the most important
foundational skills in literacy.
Using alphabet books, puzzles, and
games can make this process engaging.
Parents can introduce sight words—
common words that children should
recognize without needing to sound
them out every time. These include
high-frequency words like “the,” “and,”
“is,” and “they.”

3. Read Aloud Together Daily
Reading aloud is one of the most
important activities for early literacy. By
sharing stories daily, parents provide
children with exposure to the words and
sentence structures they will encounter
in independent reading.
To enhance engagement, ask questions
about the text they are reading. For
example, “What do you think will
happen next?” or “Why do you think the
character made that choice?” This
interactive approach encourages critical
thinking and comprehension.
4. Create a Reading-Friendly
Environment at Home
Creating a cozy and inviting space for
reading at home is a great way to
encourage reading habits. A dedicated
reading nook with comfortable seating
and access to the words they enjoy will
make reading more enjoyable.
Additionally, incorporating books into
daily routines—such as bedtime stories
—ensures that reading becomes a
natural part of their lives.
