13 Fun Ways To Learn Letter Sounds

Learning letter sounds is not something that has to come after mastering letter recognition, it can be done concurrently. Learning the sounds that letters make is a must for children to learn to read but it doesn’t have to be a scary task for teachers or parents. Letter sound activities should be fun and meet children where they are at, focused on meaningful letter sounds first. Take it slow as children show interest and most importantly have fun with these ways to learn letter sounds. For more great preschool letter sound activities, check out my book Everyday Preschool.

For my systemic approach to this in PreK check out my post about how to teach letter sounds here. If you are looking for fun ideas to add to your teaching toolbox, keep scrolling!
