There is great interest on the part of parents in teaching children their letters and numbers and writing skills. First, a child develops a love for books. At the same time they are beginning to develop eye-hand coordination. Then children begin to recognize individual letters and later they realize that letters form words. Next they begin to understand that words remain the same from day to day.
Listening skills improve at about the same time.
The child begins to hear letter sounds and connect them with the written letters. The child then learns to hear and use the rhythm of the language. This is a sequence which each child passes through. One step follows another. A lot of practice is required at each stage.
