The Birth of Alphabet Quest

• During the pandemic, I was asked to leave my literacy coaching role and teach kindergarten. When I went back to the classroom, I discovered that we were in desperate need of speeding up and enriching how we learned our alphabet.

• My time in the classroom was what birthed a really fun and effective idea I had: Alphabet Quest! Alphabet Quest is the idea of teaching the alphabet in an intense, systematic (and faster) way.

• I returned to my literacy coaching role and introduced Alphabet Quest to my co-workers.

• Instead of teaching one letter a week and spending 26 weeks inside the alphabet, Alphabet Quest was designed for children to learn their alphabet and letter sounds in only 5 weeks' time.
