Spoiler Alert: At some point or another your fun loving toddler or young child will learn to recognize letters and sounds.
This post is all about things I've used to make the letter learning journey fun and interesting for my kids.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book & Video
Everyone who I’ve ever spoken to about motherhood or teaching littles would have heard about this one several times by now. I love a good book that personifies objects and makes them come to life and this book does just that with the alphabet! The animated video is an added bonus as children love learning through song and the Chica Chica Boom Boom song is pretty cool. We first borrowed the book and video from our local library but since then I’ve found that the video can be found for free on YouTube or you can check out The Tot Tutor reading the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book for free.
Dr. Seuss Alphabet Chart
Really any alphabet chart will do; even homemade. From as early as I can remember I would take my little non-verbal baby and point to an alphabet chart and go through the letters of the alphabet. Even though they may not be speaking they are still learning.
Flash Cards
I’ve used the Sophie and friends cards with all my kids but any flash cards will do and the simpler the better. Even better if the style of font is different from the one used on your alphabet chart. Young children need to be exposed to the different ways in which letters are written in English.

Leap Frog Academy Books, Toys & App
What I really like about the LeapFrog toys, books and apps is that the learning builds. There's similarity and continuity in songs, stories and characters so children can relate and be more engaged.
Netflix shows: Alphablocks, Super Why. Special mention to Super Why because it's one of the few kid's shows that I actually enjoy watching all the way through. Love the story within a story concept and they really focus on letter recognition and phonics.
YouTube: The Tot Tutor & so many others
The Tot Tutor videos provide a good template for teaching the alphabet at home to your own children. Whether it'sfor a day, week or month - pick a letter and really focus on that letter. Find words, items, songs, story books, do art etc. that highlights that letter and letter sound.
