• Can I teach the letter sounds if I do not have training?

Yes—listen with your child to the letter sounds on WowzaBrain.com™. Be sure not to add an “uhhh” ending sound when you and your child say the letter sounds (for example, “kuh”, “ahh”, “tuh” does not blend together to say, “cat.” But /k/, ?, /t/ does!)

• How can I sustain my child's interest in daily practice?

Small, immediate rewards are powerful brain-reinforcers for behavior you want to grow! See www.WowzaBrain.com™ for easy ways to keep practice fun!

• How old should my child be to learn the alphabet?

4 to 7 years old.  Play just 30 minutes every day, with your 4 to 7 year-old, and keep it fun! Research shows that a child who knows all the letter sounds by day one of 1st grade jumps ahead in school.

• What is meant by using your child's "dominant" hand?

The ‘dominant’ hand is your child’s favorite hand for picking up food or a crayon. It is the hand your child will use to write words.

• Why should my child repeatedly do the "Trace-Touch-Tap?"

Doing the “Trace-Touch-Tap” pattern while your child says the
alphabet names and sounds keeps your child’s brain engaged and happy.
