How to Use These Alphabet Letter Mats

Start by introducing the letter to your learner. You can say “This is the letter A. A says /a/. A is for /a/ /a/ /a/ Astronaut.” Have your learner repeat after you. Encourage your child to try and come up with other words that have the same initial sound.
Use these mats to practice letter formation. Don’t pick up the pencil just yet! Use your finger to model how the letter is formed. Start with the uppercase letter, then have your learner do the same before moving on to the lowercase letter.
