Alphabet Knowledge
Educator Standard III:
Alphabetic Principle: Teachers of young students understand the
importance of the alphabetic principle to reading English, know the elements of the alphabetic

graphic representations that relate to the sounds of spoken language in conventional and
intentional ways.

Alphabet Knowledge
KEY POINTS
Students must learn letter names, letter sequence, letter sounds, and upper and lowercase
forms, as well as directional orientation (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton, and Johnson, 2020,
p. 104).
Emphasize the difference between b and d, S and Z, E and F, h and n, as well as other
letters with similar print because it is easy to confuse at that age (Bear, Invernizzi,
Templeton, and Johnson, 2020, p. 104).
Children must be able to recognize a letter in various prints and sizes (Bear, Invernizzi,
Templeton, and Johnson, 2020, p. 104).
Learning the names of letters is a vital first step to learning the sounds of letters. Some
letters have sound that can be recognized at the beginning of their names such as, B (bee),
K (kay), and Z(zee). On the other hand, some letters have sounds that can be recognized
at the end of its name such as, F(eff), L (ell), and S(ess) (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton, and
Johnson, 2020, p.104).
The best way to share five years of accumulated alphabet knowledge with children who
have not had these experiences is to teach it directly, in as naturalistic, fun, and game-like
a manner as possible in Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton,
and Johnson, 2020, p.104).
Ensure letters, ‘LMNOP’ do not become jumbled into one word and students can recite
the letters individually. When singing the ABC song, children tend to sing the five letters
as one (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton, and Johnson, 2020, p.105).
