Teaching your Child the Alphabet by Using Coloring Pages September 15

When I began teaching my children the Alphabet as Toddlers I found that using Alphabet Coloring Pages was one of the most effective way to teach the Letters of the Alphabet to my children. I already knew that they loved to color, so why not teach them the letters in a way that I know will hold their focus more than 2 minutes. So, I started printing off alphabet coloring pages from the internet and I was off to start teaching my children the alphabet.

My young Preschoolers-To-Be had no idea that they were going to begin a Lesson. For all they knew they were going to have fun coloring…. and they were right.

While my kids were coloring I would talk to them about the letters they were coloring. Here are a few examples of some things I would talk about with my children while they were coloring:

The Letter "S" sounds like ssssss…..?
What food begins with the letter "A"?
Can you point to an object in the living room that starts with the Letter you are coloring?

Those are just a few examples…. I am sure you can probably come up with a few more yourself.

Here are some of my kids’ favorite Alphabet Coloring Pages when they were learning the Alphabet:
