What is the Alphabetic Principle? Good question. Basically the Alphabetic Principle is the understanding that letters are used to represent the speech sounds of our language.
Here are a couple of websites to fully explain it:
Reading Rocket
Reading Resource.net
Education.com
Glynn County School System
SEDL
NOTE: One of more of these sites have links to purchase books or other educational material. Even if you purchase them, I receive no commission. I do this purely for the love of disseminating information.
