Frequently Asked Questions

Which letters should my toddler learn first?

Start with the letters in your child’s own name. They are the most meaningful, so they tend to stick first.

My toddler isn’t interested in letters. What should I do?

Take a break and try again in a few weeks. Forcing it usually backfires. Keep reading books together in the meantime, since that builds letter familiarity with no pressure.

Should I teach uppercase or lowercase letters first?

Start with uppercase. Capital letters are easier to tell apart, so they are less confusing for toddlers. Add lowercase once the uppercase letters feel familiar.
