[quote=Anonymous]I haven't pushed letters or numbers on my son (now almost 3.5 yrs old) but he did have a strong interest in numbers and counting last year so he learned to count to 20 by walking/counting steps and counting stuff, as well as various 1-10 count books.

He also was interested in letters because someone gave him one of those foam letter/number puzzles that we put on the floor of his room. He would ask me what the letters were and I'd tell him words that started with those letters. He knew most of the alphabet by the time he turned 3 (and a few words that started with those letters) by playing with his foam letters

Also, I bought some letter magnets for the fridge that he loves to play with and now he asks me to spell words with him on the fridge. he can spell and read some 3-letter words now. Again, I never pushed it but my son loves to be read to so he naturally gravitated to learning letters and numbers.

The daycare has a "letter of the week" for art projects making stuff that starts with those letters. That is a fun way to teach your child![/quote]
