Our Letters & Phonics Literacy Program was designed to prepare children for kindergarten, but the materials also work well for kindergarten and first grade intervention. It corresponds to Common Core Standards RF.K.1.D, RF.K.3.A and LK.1.A as children identify and name upper- and lowercase letters and letter-sound correspondence, identify initial sounds, and write upper- and lowercase letters.

How Letters are Introduced

I teach letters and letter-sound correspondence simultaneously to help children start reading as soon as possible. I start by teaching letters that occur most frequently in simple words, such as a, t, s, m. Letters that look alike and have similar sounds are separated to avoid confusion.
