K2 in Liberia: letter sounds and colors before grade 1
K2 is the last early childhood year in Liberia, for children of about 5, before grade 1. Here are letter-sound and color games for home.
Getting started
A five-minute game for today
Pick a sound, like “b”. Walk around the house together and find things that start with it: bowl, bag, bucket.

The year before grade 1
K2 prepares children for primary school with letter sounds, numbers to ten and simple writing. Grade 1 should start at 6.

Which letter starts “sun”?
In Letters, your child hears “sun” and taps the letter of the first sound, among m, s and a. Listening for sounds is the first step to reading.

Colors and shapes
In Discover, the voice asks “Which one is red?” among four circles. Play the same game outside with cars, clothes and flowers.

Starting grade 1 on time
