Find lowercase b and d

A little plan for play

What you need

A full sheet of paper and large child-appropriate crayons.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

1. Write a large lowercase b beside a ball and a lowercase d beside a dog. Name each letter together.
2. Write b d b d in a row below the key. Point to one letter and find the same shape in the key.
3. Circle the b letters in one color and the d letters in another. Trace one of each if your child wishes.

Adult writes clear lowercase letters and offers help without treating reversals as a diagnosis. Stop if the child is frustrated.
