As an early childhood educator, I do a lot with letter activities! My students are constantly learning about letters and words throughout the school year. Based on my education and teaching background, teaching children about letters needs to be done in a way that complements how children learn. I don’t employ “letter of the week”, choosing to focus instead on learning all of the alphabet with meaningful writing, reading, and letter activities. Below you’ll find all of Fun-A-Day’s posts related to letters and words. Be sure to check back, as I’ll be adding more resources as I write them!
