Working with children’s names is a highly motivating way to introduce children to letter naming and letter sound recognition.

Practicing drawing lines supports crossing the midline-moving from left to right

Learning to cut starts with ripping, then moves through snipping, fringe, straights lines and finally zig-zags and curves

Tearing paper is the precursor to cutting and supports fine motor development

Placing letters, words, numbers and shapes around the room is a fun and engaging away for children to practice recognizing, drawing and writing them
