(this gets children thinking and using their imagination); - Keep children actively involved in the story; - Point out each letter when showing children the written word; - Play word games; - match words to objects; - have children read a story from pictures in the book; - start an alphabet writing book; - Point out words, whenever and wherever you are in the community.
