ELAa’s interactive alphabet app is a great way for children to learn about alphabet letter sounds, letter names, and letter shapes. The application has captivating and colourful illustrations for each letter and helps children develop an awareness of letter sounds. For example, the letter ‘C’ for cat has a ‘kuh’ sound and the word ‘C-A-T’ can be sounded out like ‘Kuh-Ah-Tuh’. It is important to introduce letter names and shapes and point out letter-sound relationships to children. Research has shown that knowledge of the alphabet and awareness of letter sounds are major influences on future reading ability. Your child will have fun tapping and dragging letters and words into sentences, listening to letter names and sounds, and learning new words.
