Alphabets are a key resource in any educational setting. Working with alphabets gives all children the opportunity to encounter letters and sounds with which they are familiar – perhaps from knowledge of their names, or those of their friends, family or pets. It is empowering for young children to know letter names from an early stage, as it gives them a means to talk about the discoveries and observations that they are making as their awareness of written language grows and develops.
