Step 1: Choose a letter
How Alphabetology works
Become an
alphabetologist and
you can help your child
master the very serious
task of learning the
names and sounds of
the alphabet by
immersing yourselves in
a fun-filled, frolicking
festival of sounds.

errands. After grocery shopping, we stopped for a pizza picnic

Step 4: Hand movement and letter card
Incorporate the letter sound with the hand movement and the
letter card. The hand movement provides the brain with an action
movement linked to the letter and sound. This greatly enhances
memory recall. If your child has difficulty remembering the letter
sound, simply do the hand movement. The hand movement will
be enough on its own to assist your child in remembering the
letter sound. It is amazing!
These components add kinesthetic and visual components to this
multi-sensory approach to learning.
Seamlessly work child centered activities into your day. Make it
as simple or as elaborate as you'd like.

Example for letter Pp:
Take your pirate or princess on a pizza picnic at the park. Play

"Pp" with play dough or have a penny toss. You could wear
patriotic colors or purple and pink pajamas. The more fun you
have, the more memorable the letter experience will be.
