2 is too young to push it. If heās not interested wait a year or two. Yes some can learn letters at 2 but thatās not the norm at all. Just read to him often, donāt put pressure on it

Just read to him and play
Alphabet Sounds from Sounds Like Fun CD- Barbara Milne on YouTube!
You wanna start with the sound first then the letterš
If you want to add in sign language asl letter sound song that Jack Hartmann does is amazing as well!! Heās on YouTube 
Taking objects that start with the letter you want to teach and saying for example
a a apple
b b bear
As an elementary teacherā¦read and play. Expose him but please please do not push. Heās 2 and has so many other things to learn, like taking turns, playing with friends, etc. 1. If he comes to school with all his letters but pushes kids because he doesnāt want to take turns, those letters are not going to do him much good. 2. Schools do their damndest to kill the love of reading with the ridiculous way they are forced to teach now, please let him have somewhere and someone it is always fun to read with.
Play abcs in the background during play time
he is 2~~ I know numerous 3-4 year old children that are still trying to grasp letters. Teach him one letter a week. By the end of the year, seeing as there are 52 weeks, he should grasp a few of them. Teach him the letters of his name ā¦. If his name is Mark, teach him M.
Donāt focus on teaching. Read to him and play with him. Kids learn better through play and interaction.
Get a magnetic board with letters.
Heās too young. Sounds are taught before letters
Prepared for what? Heās 2!
Read somewhere that if youāre kiddo doesnāt pick up numbers or letters before Pre K, itās okay.
Before a certain age, they arenāt really understanding them but memorizing them instead.
Honestly, colors and shapes. My kiddo was pointing out ālight blue, dark green, turquoiseā around 2.5yrs. And shapes he picked up super well.
Every kid is different, find your kids strong points and nurture them. Theyāll learn the rest when school time comes.
Way to young . Let him enjoy his childhood
He is 2ā¦ Playā¦ read booksā¦ countā¦ Si Ng songsā¦
I used flash cards for my granddaughter. Along with fly swatters. 
I spead all of the letters out and would take turns hitting whatever letter that I called out!
Go on YouTube and type in jolly phonics. Each letter has a hand sign to help remember the letter and sounds. This is what we start with in kindergarten
Read Dr Seuss books. Hop on pop itās the rhyming of words and colorful simple picture books.
Let him be 2. What the heck does a 2 year old care about letters
Heās 2- work on large and small motor skills. Go for a walk bring a bucket and pick up things. Talk about what they are. Let him use a paint brush in the bath tub will bath paint. Most kids arenāt ready for letters and sounds at that age. Try basic shapes, a heart, a circle, a square. Read to him and make it fun and excitingā¦ us voices and expressions
12 month too early really.
