ABC Twiggles - Letters of the Alphabet Curriculum and Activities
Learn, play, and explore the Letters of the Alphabet. Whether you’re doing Letter of the Week or simply giving more focus to a particular letter during your theme, you’ll find lots of great ideas for hands-on learning with our ABC Twiggles resources! The ABC Twiggles Program is structured to introduce children to the letters of the alphabet by using a multi-sensory approach. We believe that children learn best by doing, being fully engaged, and having fun. To match children's varying interests, abilities, and learning styles, ABC Twiggles has developed a multi-sensory letters of the alphabet program that focuses on alphabetic knowledge, phonological awareness, book and print concepts, and vocabulary development. Our curriculum incorporates activities that directly stimulate the five senses with exercises in dramatic play, art, movement, music, cooking, and literature exploration. Research driven and aligned to state and national standards, ABC Twiggles is designed to help your children acquire the important skills they need to get them ready for the next step—learning to read.

The research from the National Institute for Literacy concluded that the strongest and most consistent predictors of later literacy development are: Alphabet Knowledge, Phonologial Awareness and Memory, Rapid Automatized Naming of Letters and Objects, and Writing Letters.
With this important research in mind and the knowledge of how children learn best, we've created our ABC Twiggles program.
