Letter frequency
Focuses on exposure through environmental print
Consonant acquisition order
Focuses on letters representing first sounds children learn to say
Letter name to sound connections
Focuses on letters with CV and VC patterns
Distinctive visual features
Groups visually similar letters
Alphabet order
Helps make ABC pattern more salient
Own-name advantage
