The Letter Center introduces children to the written and spoken alphabet. Each exercise is designed to encourage children to recite and read capital and small letters and to understand the relationship between spoken letter sounds and written letters. Even though vowel awareness is introduced in this section—vowels are always red, while consonants vary in color—phoneme awareness will be more fully developed at the Phoneme Center.
