Itchy's Alphabet cards and support products are unique in that they provide children with a
visual cue to the letter shape as well as an auditory cue for the letter sound. For example,
many of the commercially-made alphabet sets use 'moon' or 'monkey' for the 'm' sound. When
children visualize these key words they do not envision the letter 'm'. When children think of
our key-word, 'mountains', it immediately reminds them of the formation of the letter 'm' - the
one with the mountains.

About Logical Letter Formations
The order of presentation of letters in
Itchy's Alphabet has been developed based on letter formations.
The program first introduces the letter 'c' and then uses the shape
of 'c' to introduce the letters d, a, g, q, o, s, f, and e - all of
which contain some part of the 'c' . From there we introduce the
letters formed from the downstroke 'l' - t, i, j, k, and u. This
downstroke leads into the letters formed from 'r' - n, m, h, b, p (the
down, back up and around letters). The final set consists of those
formed with a slant stroke - v, y, w, x, and z.
