Letter identification is a basic skill that all children need to master in the beginning of kindergarten. It is a necessary skill to become a fluent reader by third grade.
Identifying letters can be simple and convenient to practice in your everyday life. Your children can be identifying letters everywhere like in the store or the newspaper. Have your child start by identifying the letters in his/her name.
In this lesson we will show you a fun way to practice letter identification by tracing using items in your home such as shaving cream, sand, salt, play-doh, or even pudding. The child is introduced to the letter, then makes it on the table. Tracing the letter will help your child build their letter memory.
Letter identification can be fun and is the first step on the path to becoming a great reader!
