Teaching Letter Recognition (b d p, m n h)
What it is
Letter recognition is naming uppercase and lowercase letters quickly and telling similar letters apart (b and d, p and q, n and u). In Grade 1 this is a short review in the first two weeks: six letter-sound pages, for b, d, p, m, n and h.
When a child is ready
Most children begin with the letters in their own name and the letters they see most often.
If they struggle
Teach a few letters at a time, with the letter's sound and a keyword. For reversals, use a consistent motor cue (the bat comes before the ball in b) and plenty of tracing, not just flash cards.
