Should you teach numbers or letters first?
I generally like to introduce letters first and then introduce numbers a little later. I think this helps your child understand that numbers are different from letters. I recommend 3 as a great age to start teaching numbers, but just like letters, there is no pressure to learn them all fast.
When should you start teaching ABC?
Most children begin recognizing some letters between the ages of 2 and 3 and can identify most letters between 4 and 5. This means that you can start teaching your child the alphabet when they’re around 2 – but don’t expect full mastery for some time.

Typically, by the age of three, children should be able to recite the alphabet. However, every child is different. Some toddlers may learn in their twos, and others might not pick it up until the late threes. Children generally learn how to recite the alphabet through repetition.
What was before alphabets?
Before the alphabet was invented, early writing systems had been based on pictographic symbols known as hieroglyphics, or on cuneiform wedges, produced by pressing a stylus into soft clay.
What is the k and C rule?
When we are talking about beginning sounds, we use C when the first vowel in the word is an A, O, or U. Check out the pictures below that help us remember the c or k rule! These short vowel sounds help us remember when the letter c is used. We use K when the first vowel in the word is an I or E.
How do you explain the difference between C and k?
The single letter c pronounced as /k/ can come almost anywhere in the word and comes before the vowels a, o, and u. The double letter c pronounced as /k/ comes after a short vowel. The letter k comes before the vowels i, e, or y. It also comes at the end of one-syllable words after any sound except a short vowel sound.
