The Letter B

16
Apr

This week we have started focusing on the letter B and we will continue to focus on it for two weeks.

When I work on teaching Hailey a letter I try not to actually “teach” but rather look for those teachable moments. When she brings me a book we can look for the letter B. When she wants to color I can have a paper ready with the letter B on it and talk about the B while she colors.

While we are grocery shopping I can point out all of the letters that are around us and make special note of whatever our focus letter is for that week.

I have some foam letters and we play a hiding game with them. I hide the letter and then say, “Let’s see if you can find the letter B.”

There are endless possibilities for teaching letters. For me, I think the important thing for toddlers is to have fun so that they think it is all a game. Look for those teachable moments rather than trying to teach an actual lesson. The lesson you are ready to teach when those teachable moments occur are the ones your child will remember.
