A child's work is play. A child's tools are toys. Lower case letters are the foundation of reading. You should also have a set of moveable capitals in reserve to use when you need them. For example you should always write your child's name with a capital at the front.
Letters have sounds and names.
The sounds will help more in beginning reading than the names. The company that makes the letters I suggest is called Lauri. I have sets of them for my grandchildren. If you need WinZip, you can get it here . Web site designed and maintained by HeatherWeb .
