We’ve been talking a lot about letters and the alphabet around here lately. Julia knows her abcs, can identify a few letters individually when she sees them, and knows how to spell her first name thanks to much repetition at school. Yesterday she asked me to show her how to write her name. So first I wrote her name, then I drew an outline of the letters which we traced together, and lastly with lots of verbal coaching she made her own first attempt:
Andrew’s comment was that she’ll be able to write better than him in a few weeks! Guess we better get to work on learning the rest of the letters!!
Wow, thats a good job. Lily can get the Liy part of her name. I just picked up this board & its her new favorite toy: http://www.lakeside.com/catalog/all_sku_listing_product_detail.jsp?productId=prod120643&navAction=jump
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin! I'll have to check it out. I didn't really think she was ready for something like that yet b/c til now she had shown no interest in actually writing but I guess she is!
Deletegreat job Julia!!
