What alphabet knowledge means

You practise saying and spotting letters in the correct order from A to Z. This helps you read simple words later, because you can follow the alphabet and find the next or missing letter.

What you will practise

  • Name letters in order from the start of the alphabet.
  • Choose the letter that comes next in a sequence.
  • Find the letter between two other letters.
  • Pick the first letter of the alphabet.

Before you start

You should already know some letter shapes and be able to say simple letter names. It also helps if you can listen carefully and match spoken letters to written ones.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Which letter comes after B?

  • A
  • C
  • D
  • E
Answer: C

Working: The alphabet goes A, B, C - C comes after B.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Skipping a letter when saying the alphabet. Say each letter slowly and in order.
  • Mixing up letters that look alike. Check the shape before you answer.
  • Choosing the wrong middle letter in a set. Count the letters one by one.
  • Starting from the wrong place in the alphabet. Remember that A begins the sequence.

Curriculum and exam alignment

Ghana GES Kindergarten syllabusSchool-based assessment

This usually appears early in Kindergarten literacy lessons, before more direct work on beginning sounds and early word reading. It supports school-based continuous assessment and end-of-term tests that check simple letter order and recognition.

Curriculum notes are a general guide to where this work normally sits. Always check the syllabus your school or examination body is currently using.
