How to Teach Children Letters
If simple alphabet exercises aren’t quite getting the job done, there are plenty of other engaging ways to teach kids the alphabet! After you’ve tried our Alphabet Tracing Activity, play around with our fun character animations in the Letters chapter.
Three Periods of Letter Learning
1st Period
It is best to expose children to the letters, play them the phonetic sound, and have them grace them with their fingers.
2nd Period
Also know as the association stage, a child should be able to identify a letter based on its name. You can have them point to a specific letter you call or pick it up if you are using physical pieces. Do this multiple times with each letter so that it is reinforced.
3rd Period
The recall, or 3rd period, is asked to remember and trace a letter. As the final stage, the child should be able to remember and trace all letters when asked verbally.

Does Letter Tracing Help Learning?
Tracing is a highly effective way to teach letters to young children. With Shoonya Kids, children can follow along with letter patterns and mindfully practice writing with good form. Tracing letters helps to stimulate the brain and reinforce letters.
As a multi-sensory technique, tracing can improve fine motor skills as well as visual-motor skills. Not only is tracing helpful for letter learning, but also for learning to draw shapes and improve handwriting. Not to mention, tracing letters can boost children’s confidence as they continue to improve with practice!
Letter Tracing in Shoonya Kids
The letter tracing chapter in Shoonya Kids was inspired by Montessori-style learning, and tested in classrooms with real children. The chapter features plain backgrounds in order to help children focus on letter patterns and sounds. The app also draws on the Montessori ‘Sandpaper’ technique, teaching children how to write letters using their sense of touch in order to fully provide them with a solid foundation for proper penmanship.
