We have almost completed all of the letters of the alphabet. This week we worked on the letter 'v'. The children needed some help making the proper sound as some would add an a and say va va. We corrected this by telling them to put their top teeth on their lower lip and making it vibrate with the vvvv sound. We talked about how it tickled a little when we would do it for a long time. We also practiced making the letter around the room. As our printing has come a long way from the beginning of the year we also practiced writing some of the v letters we came up with on a white board. First they write them down and then I ask them what the word is that they copied.
We only have two letters left to cover. After that we will continue to review letter and letter sounds but will also be working on word families (at, hat, cat, bat are all in the at word family).
