Introducing Letter D

Congratulations! It’s such an exciting moment in time when your child starts learning letter recognition! Letter D is the 4th letter of the alphabet and is a consonant! There are 5 vowels and 21 consonants in the English alphabet that make up the 26 letters of the alphabet.

Learning letter recognition is the foundation to reading! If you’re wondering What is the best way to learn the alphabet? than you’re in the right place! The first thing to do is letter recognition – Teach the name and simple sound of each letter. When I teach the alphabet I always start with the uppercase letters first. In this case, I would work on the Uppercase letter D first. Then once that’s mastered, I go back through the alphabet again to work on lowercase letters.

I’m so thankful that I get to join you and your little one as you are learning all about the letter D! Tracing letters is such a fun way to introduce the letters of the alphabet! Letter D is for Dog, Dinosaur, and Dirt!

If you have a preschooler or kindergartner still learning the shapes of the letters, an easy way to practice letters is through flash cards and coloring pages. Practice the letter D sound as you pound your fists together with the dog in these super fun and engaging flashcards from ABC SEE HEAR DO flash cards. These are my favorite because they give an action for the child to do as they say the letter sounds engaging other parts of their brain to better remember the alphabet.

Tracing letters is a great way to introduce the letters of the alphabet! Don’t forget to read books about the letter d, do some hands-on activities and crafts for your little learners, and make sure you are practicing the letter sound for the letter D. /D/ says “d” as in dog.

Benefits of Letter Tracing

Letter tracing helps children refine their fine motor skills and pre-writing skills. Tracing also lays the foundation for proper letter formation, word building and even drawing.
