Research shows that learning letter names can help with learning letter sounds. This is because letter names are usually more in agreement with letter sounds than the sounds themselves.

How do the whole word and phonics approaches to reading differ?
The whole language approach, which emphasized identifying words using literary context and barely focusing on sounds, could not be reconciled with the phonics focus on individual sounds' correspondence to letters and letter combinations.

Why do letter names exist in parallel with their phonic sounds?
It goes back to the days of Latin, since unlike the Greek alphabet, which had actual names for its letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon etc.), it mostly took the sound that the letter stood for and if needed added an /e/ (short or long) to it.
