Materials
1 piece of card stock with the first letter of your child’s name written on it
Blue dots stickers
Marker
Directions
Use the marker to draw the first letter in your child’s name. Be sure to make it nice and big and write the upper case symbol. Say the name of the letter as you draw it and your child’s name – “B for Brian”. Give your child a sheet of removable blue sticker dots and encourage him to carefully place dots closely together on the linees of the letter. Cover all the lines. Continue to review the letter name and who it represents. Encourage your child to say the name of the letter.
