Why Alphabet Instruction Matters
Rooted in Research. Designed for Real Classrooms.
Alphabet knowledge is one of the strongest predictors of reading success — but only when it’s taught the right way.
We help preschool teachers move beyond rote memorization to build deep, meaningful alphabet understanding through:
• Letter names and sounds taught together
• Multisensory, play-based instruction that sticks
• Intentional teaching that meets children where they are
Because how we teach the alphabet shapes what comes next.
If You've Ever Wondered...
whether you're teaching the alphabet "correctly," you're not alone. Many preschool teachers are told to make learning playful, but rarely shown how to teach letters intentionally through play. Maybe you're using "Letter of the Week" but wondering why some kids still aren't retaining what they learn. The result? A classroom full of activities, but children who still struggle to recognize letters or connect sounds. That's where we come in!
The Results...
When teachers use our research-based, play-focused approach, they see:
-
Faster learning - Children recognize letters and connect sounds in weeks, not months
-
Better retention - Skills stick because they're learned through meaningful, multisensory experiences
-
Genuine excitement - Kids actually WANT to practice letters during play and centers
-
Confident readers - Strong alphabet knowledge creates a foundation that supports all future literacy learning
Now offering courses and trainings approved in both North Carolina and South Carolina!

Jillayna, Preschool Teacher
"Thankful for all the knowledge you have been sharing. We love our letter cycles and whole body letter learning. I had a parent just this week mention she had noticed her three year old was picking up letter sounds so fast!"
Amelia, Preschool Teacher
“I have loved watching how the children in my classroom have responded to her 'Moving Little Minds' letter cards. They are excited about learning the names of letters and letter sounds. This program is great for all learning styles- visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. I’m thankful for her expertise and the way she has helped me grow in my teaching skills."
Laura, Preschool Parent
"Literacy has a new meaning in our house! We get so many fresh ideas from Ms. Melissa that make early reading and letter recognition so fun. I love how she makes everything into a game, from letter sound song and play, to letter forming with tools you most likely have around the house...It’s brought a new perspective to my parenting and has put a new spin on literacy as a whole for me."
