Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Learn the Letters activity is presented to introduce your child to the 26 letters of the alphabet.

This free exploration is very inviting and encourages your child to take risks by pressing letters he or she may not be too familiar with. ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Slide the activity selector to "Learn the Letters." You will hear a short tune and the friendly voice will introduce the activity by saying, "Learn the letters." "Learn the letters." 2. When any letter button is pressed, the letter's name will be identified. For example, when you press the letter "A" button, you will hear the corresponding letter name "A." "A" How Can You Help? • Encourage your child to find the beginning letter of his or her name as well as other names of family members. Ask your child to think of his or her friends names or favorite toys, animals, etc. and guide your child in finding the beginning letters of those words using the letter buttons on the learning toy. • Write some letters of the alphabet down on paper and encourage your child to find the matching letter using the letter buttons on the learning toy. After your child presses the letter button and hears the name of the letter, ask him or her what letter it was. 3
