Sweetpea and I are currently working on her letter recognition skills through several different activities. The most simple and her favorite is our letter wall. I typed up the alphabet in a pattern of colors, four letters to a sheet. After they were printed and cut, I covered them in contact paper to hopefully make them more durable. Sweetpea helped to hang them in our classroom area as I told her each letter.
Today we sang the Alphabet Song several times while pointing to each letter as we sang. Then Sweetpea pushed my hand away and proceeded to point on her own.
For the most part, she would point to the right letter as I sang fairly slowly. But she was so proud of herself when we finished.
Here is a picture of our ABC wall. It is underneath Buddy's sight words because Sweetpea has loved to pull his words off the wall in the past. This caused lots of fussing in our household so having her own letters on the wall has actually kept her from touching Buddy's words as much.
Our ABC wall may be simple but it is effective. I'm confident that this will help Sweetpea begin to recognize letters quickly.
