Talking Letters Overview
Talking Letters provides parents and teachers a tool to teach children the letters of the alphabet and their sounds to build a strong foundation for reading. Here’s how it works:
-
In the Talking Letters program, each message associated with a character and a story.
-
As parents and teachers read the stories aloud, children begin to learn that each letter “makes a sound as it talks.”
-
This resource will help parents become their child’s first and best teacher; each Talking Letters set includes a step-by-step instructional guide so that parents know when and how to introduce each letter as well as activities and games to use.
-
As children master their letters and sounds, they begin to “make the letters talk” in forming new words.
-
As children begin to read phonetically (recognizing that each letter makes a sound), they are then introduced to sight words (words that are not understood by their letter sounds) as they begin to read the ten sight word books included in the set.
-
Celebrate – your child is reading!
The Talking Letters Reading Program is designed to teach children letters, sounds, and sight words in a fun and useful way as they learn to read! By combining proven story-based and character-based approaches, Talking Letters teaches children the letter names and sounds by associating each letter with a memorable story and character-based letter graphic. As children “make the letters talk,” they quickly become readers!
