Make back-to-school decorating more meaningful with the Tiger Alphabet Gang Classroom Decor Set. These cheerful tiger characters turn every letter from A to Z into a friendly visual, giving young learners frequent opportunities to notice, recognize, and name the letters of the alphabet.
Why Alphabet Knowledge Matters
Alphabet knowledge is an important part of early literacy development. As children develop this knowledge, they learn to recognize and name uppercase and lowercase letters and begin connecting letters with the sounds they represent. The U.S. Head Start program identifies Print and Alphabet Knowledge as a key area of preschool literacy development.
The U.S. Department of Education’s What Works Clearinghouse also emphasizes systematic instruction in foundational reading skills, including teaching students the relationships between sounds and letters, as part of early reading instruction in Kindergarten through Grade 3.
