In the early stages of teaching children, we focus on introducing the alphabet through interactive and engaging methods. This typically includes using visual aids like flashcards, alphabet songs, and picture books that correlate letters with images and sounds. By us creating a playful and immersive environment, children begin to recognize letters and their corresponding phonetic sounds, setting a strong foundation for reading and writing skills.

Once children have grasped the basics of the alphabet, instruction progresses to blending sounds to form simple words and sentences. Writing instruction in Canada typically begins with helping children form letters correctly and progress to writing simple sentences and stories. Additionally, digital literacy is increasingly integrated into the curriculum, with students learning to use technology to support their writing and research.
