Meet the Alphafriends
Learning the letter sounds, names, and symbol (how to write it) is one of the most important skills that your child can learn. Knowing the letter sounds is the basic building block to reading and writing. Most subjects in school revolve around these skills.
As part of our Houghton Mifflin language arts curriculum, we use Alphafriends to help the students learn their letters. Each week the kindergarten students are introduced to a new Alphafriend who will teach them about a new letter of the alphabet. For each letter there is a character, a sound, and a motion. The students will learn the name of the letter, the shape of the letter and the sound of the letter.
