A safe, familiar room; paper and a large child-appropriate crayon are optional.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Choose a letter together, such as B, and say a familiar word beginning with it, such as book.
- Look around the room for a visible object whose name starts with the same letter. Point to it or say its name.
- Try another letter, or draw a picture of something you found. Keep objects in place.
Adult stays beside the child and keeps unsafe objects out of reach. Use familiar words and accept pointing, gestures, or speech.
