Hey friends, welcome back to a brand new episode of Elevating Early Childhood!
This one is suuuuuper exciting, but before we start, let me ask you a question!
Has anyone ever said to you: "Oh, you teach preschool, it must be so much fun to play all day!"?
Pretty frustrating, right?
Many people think teaching early childhood is a walk in the park, even when you and I know the truth: It isn't!
Our job needs time, dedication, and a real love for children and literacy. After all, not everyone can teach the alphabet to a small child...
Which brings me to today's subject: This week’s guest, the brilliant Melissa Leach (of Leach Literacy Training), who is here to discuss the science behind teaching letters, letter names, and sounds to preschool-aged children.
So, here's all you need to know to teach the alphabet to preschoolers!
Are you ready?
Grab yourself a nice hot chocolate (or a spiced cider, 'tis the season after all), have a seat in your favorite chair, and tune in!
Key Takeaways:
Is teaching preschool really easy? (00:00)
Letter before letters sounds or vice-versa? (04:45)
Don't jump in too quickly (08:41)
The importance of not making assumptions (13:53)
Why it's important to understand the children you're teaching (14:27)
How to get your children excited about learning letters (16:36)

This is amazing. Children learn by making connections so I like to ask the children an open ended question like, "what does this letter remind you of?" they are typically eager to answer and make connections with people or things that mean a lot to them.
I love the part about the letters being meaningful to the children!
Thank youuuuu soooooo much Vanessa! I personally asked you about teaching the alphabet to preschoolers! Love your " precious " videos and appreciate the effort you're putting in to it. Looking forward to part "2" 🌷⚘🌷⚘
We should teach them letters by their names that's what she meant?? And if it wasn't their mother tongue how they will understand the meaning of letter.... Can u explain for me please
Im a homeschool mother and i enjoy your videos, they really help me understand my children. My almost 5 year old still confuses the words "letters" and "numbers" .. He will say letter 5, or number B lol.. So thanks for helping me relax i was wondering what i could be doing wrong...
Thank you for sharing ideas. Early Childhood Educator now are having a hard time teaching children.
Thank you Vanessa this has been really helpful .
You look great! I am learning so much from your videos. Thank you.
Yes, I have also seen treetop letters, land letters, underground letters
Yes! Exposure to various sounds. Great ideas!
Do you have a video about how to teach the alphabet in its Entirety
I’m thinking
Showing the letters
What is a letter
The abc song
The names of the letter
The sounds of the letters
How to write a letter
How to identify the letter
How to put it on order with the alphabet
I need help my daughter is starting kindergarten next year and she needs to know this before going into class
Please help
Excellent question! I actually wrote a book on this topic, you can find it here: www.pre-kpages.com/teach-smarter-book/
Pls tell me first we have to teach sounds or letters. If letters Capital or simple letters
Great question! You can teach sounds and letters at the same time. When it comes to writing letters capital letters are easier for young children to write, but if you're referring to recognizing letters then they can learn to recognize both cases at the same time. Print appears in the world arounds us in both cases.
I wrote a song with props on sticks
How can this personal meaning letter be applied to the whole class ?
My free Literacy Essentials guide may be helpful for you: www.pre-kpages.com/how-to-teach-the-alphabet/
So...how to you handle teaching what a letter is when you have pk-4 students that were with you for pre-k 3. 4 out of 6 of my prek-3 students that are returning to pre-k 4 know all 52 letter names and sounds. I will get kids that won't even know what a letter is next year. . I am afraid the old students will be bored or even start behaving inappropriately
It sounds like you've done a great job with your students! Your situation sounds challenging, but I've never taught a mixed-age group so unfortunately I can't be of much help.
How can you teach 20 kids their preferred letter at same time 😮
It's much easier and more effective than teaching a letter a week. Here's another video on this topic you may find helpful: ruclips.net/video/HnP-Y05tpTg/видео.htmlsi=-VOMTak0hYc_qaMm
