We have been showing an interest in letters in recent weeks. We have been involved in playing a variety of games which help us to develop our letter recognition. Many of us have also been experimenting with letters at the drawing table. If your child is interested, you can encourage him/her to learn the letters in his/her name and point out these letters on road signs, restaurants, in books etc. Please remember to use the letter sounds (ah) rather than the letter names (ai, bee, cee etc).
I have been trying to encourage Conor in this area. I have regularly attempted to engage him in letter recognition and tried various ways including activity books, made up Star Wars games and flash cards….his response today was “I will learn this when I get to school Mum” …Made me laugh ….
Ha ha loved Conor’s comment Shona…. Harry is beginning to show an interest in ‘letters’ but I think he would rather be on a bike!
