Developing the skill to write takes practice...

Learning to write is a difficult skill for many children...it is akin to an adult trying to write clearly on top of their head. Making playdough letters, lacing, and coloring are good activities to help children develop the fine motor skills to write neatly. Writing takes much time to develop proficiently, and wiggly lines are a great start! See "Proven Literacy Tips" on www.abcsforliteracy.com webpage for more help.

Match the Way to Learning

Matching to a letter is a great and fun way to help familiarize an emergent learner to the alphabet.  Matching is a skill the child can practice independently, or matching can add "naming the letter" as it is matched to up the learning. Refer to the Matching YouTube at www.abcsforliteracy.com/home- it is the last video- to see different ways to make matching work.
