Letter Recognition

Letter Recognition

What is it?

Letter recognition is the ability to name letters, identify characteristics specific to said letter, and letter formation of all 26 uppercase and lowercase letter symbols used in the English language.

Why is it important?

It would be incredibly difficult for a child to learn how to read if they were not taught the meaning and significance of every letter. Without a sense of letter recognition, children would just view the written alphabet as empty symbols. Letters form words and words form print; therefor, children must be able to identify all of the uppercase and lowercase letters and their characteristics in order to ever be able to read print.
