Focus: Alphabet Knowledge
• Pashler(2006) details how to optimize memory for learning sets of information and overcoming obstacles to forgetting. He indicates that the optimal review cycle to remember a set of items, such as alphabet letter names and alphabet letter sounds, should follow a distributed practice review every 18-36 days.

Letting go of Letter of the Week!
• “Fluent letter recognition is one of the (if not THE) predictors of reading success. Removing letters from their meaningful context removes the meaning and purpose from the letter.”
Adams, 1990
• “Children who are taught letters in isolation have difficulty placing that information into literacy activities.”
Wood and McLeMore, 2001
