Today’s topic: how children learn “Katakana”

My four-year-old son has been interested in learning letters. At the same time, he feels stress since he can't read all letters(hiragana and katakana) in packages of snacks or signs.

So, I made an educational item to learn "hiragana" and "katakana" together. I call it Magnet Letter Board.

In my case, my son is already able to read 75% of "hiragana", so I put "hiragana" on the board and "katakana" on magnets. I recommend you to put your target letters (unknown letters) on magnets and letters that you already know on the board. For example, if you want to learn "hiragana" based on alphabets, you may put "hiragana" on the magnets and alphabets on the board.
