Capital Letters

Children will learn to recognise capital letters and write at least the capital letter that starts their name. Picture and plain  letter resources help to strengthen their familiarity with a-z and A-Z.

Long Vowels

Once children know the short vowel sounds, Letterland shows that each vowel can make two different sounds. By personifying the vowels as the Vowel Men, children quickly understand their dual role in reading and spelling.
