1. Letters Recognition

a b c d e f p a n s t o

2. Vowel Sound ‘a’ and ‘e’

The sound of short vowel ‘a’ and ‘e’ has a slight difference between them

and can be difficult for a child to differentiate.

3. Early Introduction of letter s

Early inclusion of letter s introduces a child to plural words

and usage of verbs in readers. Examples:

I sit on the bed. She sits on the bed. I have a bag and two toys.
