Learning Letters

 

Name recognition is one of the first reading/writing skills children learn. Many children learn the initial letter of their own name first. Both a child's name and initial letter have a great deal of meaning for a child. Talk about and practice the first letter in your child's name. Over time you can introduce other letters. When you practice with your child be sure to capitalize the first letter of his/her name and use lower case for the rest of the letters.

Practice letters by tracing them in the air, sand, or finger paint, and writing them using a variety of tools including pencils, chalk, crayons, and markers. Children will also enjoy looking for familiar letters in books, magazines, signs, or anywhere else there are letters.

Below is a sample of the D'Nelean style of printing. This is the letter style used by the School District of La Crosse. The transition into kindergarten will be easier if you and your child use this style while practicing.

Some four year olds are ready to learn  their letters while many are not. Follow your child's lead. If your child gets bored or frustrated move on to another activity.
