Interaction with an adult works best.  Do a few rhyming, assonance and alliteration games on the way to preschool in the morning, talking about which letter makes which sounds.

alliteration: Ally Alligator abandons apples to attack applesauce.  Do you hear the a sound at the beginning, like in apple?  Can you think of any other words that start with this sound?

assonance: Happy, the glad cat, can tap dance.  Happy had a bag.  Her bag had a tag.  A man had a rag he traded for her bag.  Who has the bag now?  Do you hear the a sound in the middle of the words?  Can you think of any other words with that sound?

rhyming: Ling can bring a ring.  A ring is bling.  Ling can sing.  Ling plays a string guitar.  Ling hears a ding and a ping.  Ling has a friend, Ming.  Ling eats lemon, zing!  Ling eats bing cherries and a chicken wing.  Ling can fling a ball.  A bee will sting Ling.  Do you hear the -ing sound?  Can you think of any other words with this sound?  (Encourage ringing and adding -ing to other -ing words.)

Play alphabet games with her after preschool.  Take 3 sets of upper and lower case letters on flashcards and play memory, matching the letter together.  Whoever turns up the cards says what the letter is, whether it matches or not.

Make it fun.  Keep the focus on fun with an adult.  Don't make it intense, don't make it something she HAS to do.  Avoid apps, because you don't know whether she's retaining or not.[/quote]
