Common Challenges & Solutions
Every beginner faces obstacles. Here's how to overcome them:
⚠️
Child confuses similar-looking letters (b and d)
Solution: Focus on one letter at a time. Use visual cues: 'b has a belly, d has a door.' Practice with one letter until mastered before introducing similar letters.
⚠️
Child can't remember letter sounds
Solution: Use picture associations: A for apple, B for ball. Make it multisensory: say the sound while tracing the letter. Repeat frequently in short sessions.
⚠️
Child loses interest quickly
Solution: Keep sessions short (10-15 minutes). Use games, songs, and hands-on activities. Take breaks and return to it later. Make it fun, not a chore.
