Parents and teachers should care about letter formation when teaching ABCs because it's foundational for children’s literacy development. Proper letter formation lays the groundwork for effective handwriting skills, which are crucial for academic success and everyday communication. When children learn to form letters correctly, they can write more legibly and quickly, reducing frustration and building confidence in their writing abilities.

Moreover, the process of learning letter formation helps children understand the alphabetic principle—the idea that letters represent specific sounds. This understanding is key to reading and spelling skills. By focusing on precise letter formation, adults help children make strong visual and motor memory connections. This can also aid in preventing later writing difficulties, decreasing the chances of dysgraphia—a learning disability that affects writing abilities.

Correct letter formation enhances fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, which are beneficial beyond literacy, affecting many other areas of a child’s development. Additionally, it fosters a growth mindset as children experience success and improvement with practice. Neglecting proper letter formation may lead to bad habits that are harder to correct later and may cause academic challenges. Therefore, investing time and effort in teaching and reinforcing good letter formation practices early on truly sets the stage for a child’s long-term educational journey.
