Ways to Learn the Alphabet

My son started pre school at 3 years and 2 months old.He  knew  the alphabet well before he even starts school.He learned it his way not my way .I was trying to teach him the letters but it seems  not working the way I do it.Teaching  children  the Alphabet takes a lot of patience .We were thinking of  many  ways  for them to learn like books,children’s shows and toys. Maybe someone with a California teaching credential would know more ways to teach him things like that. We usually says A   is for  Apple,B  is for ball and  so on but they loses interest in what ever they were doing  whenever  we do these.When my son was a toddler back in Qatar,we never had a cable connection not because we cannot afford it.I just thought that it was not one of my priority.I let my son watch on dvd’s , internet and  play educational toys(with sounds,music, light)  .Sesame Street is one show that I like  him to watch . It has a little of everything to teach children.

We  moved to USA last year when he was only 2 years 4 months old .Here, he was introduced to different kinds of television shows like Team Umizoomi, Bubble Guppies, Backyardigan , etc.These shows taught him  to identify different kinds of shapes, colors,numbers and many more. He also has his all time favorite VTEC Educational laptop and toys where he  learned the Alphabet .I can say that VTEC had the biggest part in his learning ability.He spends most of his day in front of the laptop listening ,watching, playing the key board and touching the screen .Unconsciously he learned through  this.Two months before his 3^rd birthday while  sitting on my lap watching television he stared at my shirt and started reading  all the letters  written on it. I was stunned and could not believe he just did it. He also learned the numbers, shapes and colors all by himself . It is good to find out that our kids are actually having fun and at the same time learning without any pressure.
