L E T T E R S // Researchers and seasoned teachers agree that effective alphabetic recognition or letter identification is a careful balance of both explicit introduction and instruction of specific letters and frequent exposure to those letters in multiple forms, both isolated and within text. This kind of combined instruction helps children learn letter names, shapes, and sounds within relation to each other in a fun and exciting way. Letter recognition is important because it enables beginning readers to figure out how printed text is associated with the spoken language. We love exploring our letter of the day through our literacy groups, engaging in multifaceted play based experiences. Each experience aims to support children's; writing skills, ICT engagement, phonemic awareness, letter recognition, fine motor skills and creative development. Not only do these experiences support and reinforce our teaching/learning of each letter- but they are so much FUN! However, before participating in our literacy groups, we must always start with a collaborative, whole class construction of our Letter Wall!
