[quote=Anonymous]I haven't used any apps with my kids, and both my 2.5 year old and my 5 year old have memorized all the basic letter sounds, upper and lower case. The whole process took several months for each child, and could have been done more quickly but my focus was on absolute mastery since the letter sounds are so fundamental to reading.

We started with the Munchkin foam bath letters, introducing 2-3 the first day, and then adding one more each time he or she was getting the existing set consistently correct. Lower case I used refrigerator magnet letters since the Munchkin set is upper-case only. There are all kinds of games you can play. My toddler likes to "feed" the letters to his stuffed Elmo and make the sounds as Elmo "eats" the letters. He also likes to throw the letters as he makes the sounds. And we've tried games like laying all the letters out and him telling me which sounds he wants me to give him. With my daughter I had her flying a space ship to the different sounds, jumping from sound to sound, etc. Just be creative, and make it very tactile for them. [/quote]
