Letter recognition is the ability to identify and name letters in both uppercase and lowercase forms. This skill is essential for early literacy development, as it helps children understand that letters represent sounds and are the building blocks of words. Recognizing letters is often one of the first steps in learning to read and write. To support letter recognition, various activities can be used, such as singing the alphabet song, playing matching games, or using flashcards. These engaging methods help children become familiar with letters, making it easier for them to progress in their reading and writing skills as they grow.
