Toddlers are the quintessential scientists; experimenting from wake to sleep. They want to explore everything around them, and in their exploration, learn about their environment and themselves.
Providing meaningful opportunities for toddlers to experiment is easy and fun.

Early Literacy
If your child knows the Alphabet Song, she doesn't
necessarily now the alphabet. She just knows the song.
Teach the alphabet out of order.
Language
Talk WITH your child not just AT your child.
LISTEN to your child.
RESPOND to your child.
For Parents Only
I'll be honest, before I began classes to become a teacher, I don't think I recall hearing the words PHONICS, or even CONSONANT and VOWEL.
But, they exist.
Phonics is the relationship between letters and sounds in language.
[We can write what is spoken.]
Vowels are letters in the English language that are made in the back of the throat; air passes over the larynx to make the sound.
{a, e, i, o,u, and sometimes y (when y says eee or iiii)}
Consonants are any letters that are not vowels. Consonant sounds are made with air over the larynx, aided by the teeth, tongue, and lips.
Try it.
By the way, parents, you already know all of this. Now whatyou know has labels. And you do not need to teach your 2 year old that a is a vowel. But, it's good for you to know.
