One of the first words children learn to read and write is their name. Children hear their name all throughout the day. Names are personal, meaningful, and recognizable. Today we searched for the first letter in each child’s names. Some of the children held onto the letter throughout the day. They recognized it as “their” letter that stands for “their” name. We reviewed the letters with the boys and girls as well as went over color recognition with them as they dropped the letter in the bucket. Learning letters is something we work on with our Toddlers everyday. It build self confidence within the child and helps give them a sense of identity!
