get a copy of this would be a good start
My granddaughter already loves books and I would love to teach her to read with these
Singing the alphabet helps my nearly 3 y.o learn the order of the letters, we also try to play word games especially good for car journeys, so that she can guess the first letter of things we may see out of the window.
We also read an extraordinary amount of books, the first readers are great as they ask them to identify words with pictures after the story.

We always read everything from road signs to cereal boxes wherever we are.
Singing helps with the alphabet and just repetition.
This is a great prize 🙂
MY DAUGHTER ALWAYS USED TO READ TO ME ON THE WAY TO AND FROM SCHOOL IN THE CAR, KEPT HER AND ME ENTERTAINED IN THE TRAFFIC JAM! (TOO FAR TO WALK!)
We used to go and find alphabet songs on you tube. She learnt the alphabet it super quick time!
tweeted, and i find alphablocks really helpful for kids with learning!
Spot letters out and about to bring them into the everyday. Plus starting with the letters in their name gets their interest
SINGING THE ALPHABET REALLY HLPS
Singing the alphabet can help. Alphabet picture posters and card games based on the alphabet are also beneficial.
Please allow competition entry via e-mail, comment etc.
You are entered Rachel
I sang with the alphabet with my two and they picked it up really quick, however l, m, n, o, p took a while to crack as they said it more a word than the letters. lol 🙂
following on bloglovin and I have tweeted @h_igoe
I think the best way to teach is to go with your childs lead and interests. For example my son really wanted to learn to write them so I have been teaching him as he learns to trace them.
we like to play snap with alphabet cards
Lots of repetition – sounds dull but it works. Repeating A for Apple, B for Ball etc
Make it fun and incorporate it into every day activities, they won’t even realise 🙂

My son had a little computer that used to sing the alphabet and he just used to copy it
@ChrisA2468 has tweeted
make learning fun – l chant the alphabet to the tine on the American ‘marching’ song
I always used a rhyme to teach my children the alphabet along with an ‘A for Apple’ etc chart. Following and RTd @jueperry
Tweeted using @hippy_chick42 and the best way to teach the alphabet is to start with their name and then progress on to the alphabet song. I’ve also recently downloaded a really good book on the iPad, which features Clever Cat and Hairy Hat Man etc. My son even though he is only two loves interacting with the book and listening to the individual letter songs.

Matching games using letter cards and objects.
Hi, I follow and have tweeted on twitter as @solarsangel. An excellent easy and simple way of helping children to learn the alphabet, is to make the letter shapes out of play doh, pipe-cleaners, finger paint etc – so they have lots of fun, but are learning too!
Play games and make it fun. Alphablocks really helped my son to learn the alphabet!
Sesame Street always used to be a good teaching program when mine were little. We also used to read over and over again the alphabet books available. Also make cards with letters of the alphabet on and get the children to draw a picture to correspond with the letter, for example on the B card draw ball. Keep the drawings simple for the children. Also use magazines/comics/catalogues and let the children cut out a picture to correspond with the letters is a great way of learning.
Colourful abc books. Colourful plate with abc running around it. More books
with flash cards
Have lots of pictures of letters at home to help recognition. We have books, foam letters for the bath, an ABC poster, magnetic letters on the fridge etc

We play a treasure hunt – taking it in turns to say the sounds and find the corresponding letter cards 🙂
We watch an alphabet dvd and now each letter is visualised by something associated!
ps shared on twitter too @noconawolsk
songs and rhymes are always great ways to learn things

With our Grace it was the good old blackboard and let her copy. It seemed to work.
