If you have a hyperlexic child, then you know what it's like to raise an alphabet-loving, ABC-obsessed child. They live and breathe the letters of the alphabet and, meanwhile, it looks like a alphabet style glitter bomb exploded in your house. There's likely alphabet toys everywhere.

I'm right, aren't I?

That's because I get it. I know what it's like to raise a hyperlexic child.

At the height of J's alphabet obsession/passion, we had more alphabet books and toys than I'd care to admit.

So if you need a little inspiration yourself, then you'll love these 26 alphabet sensory activities for kids with hyperlexia.
