Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A full sheet of paper and a large child-appropriate crayon.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a ball and a sun. Write a large B and S elsewhere on the page.
- Say ball slowly and listen for its first sound. Connect the picture to B, explaining that B can represent that sound.
- Say sun and find its starting letter, then try another familiar picture and letter together.
Adult stays beside the child. Accept pointing, words, or gestures, and use familiar words in your language.
