Also, please excuse my weird faces in the beginning of the video. My sister recorded and edited these videos and caught me making those faces and then PUT THEM IN THE VIDEO! Ahhh! That’s what happens I guess when you ask your sister for help. 🙂 She is really awesome though for helping me record and edit these videos so a big thanks to her even if she caught me making weird faces. 🙂 Enjoy the video!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a letter lesson be?
Keep it short, just 5 to 10 minutes of playful practice, and stop while your toddler is still having fun. Several short sessions beat one long one.
What age should I start teaching my toddler letters?
Around age 3 is typical, but there is a wide range of normal. Some kids show interest earlier, and plenty learn their letters closer to 4. Please don’t pressure your little one before they are ready.
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.
