Sandpaper letter excercises allow a child to explore the shape of the letter through touch while making the sound of the letter.
Tracing a name or word allows a child to practice letter formation and pencil grip.
Words are wonderful to collect. Here a child is writing the names of the countries in Africa on index cards so that he may carry them with him on a word ring.
Letters make sounds, sounds make phenomes, phenomes make words, words make sentences, sentences make stories and the power of language grows.
