Parents of 4-year-olds struggle to know the correct, evidence-based method for introducing letter sounds, leading to uncertainty about whether they're doing it right and anxiety about their child falling behind. Existing parenting advice is fragmented across forums and books, often contradictory, and doesn't provide step-by-step, age-appropriate instruction that parents can confidently follow at home.
