Alphabet so far

Anderson knows 12 letters so far. A B K L M O Q R T W X Z. This week we're doing the letter H. He was talking about hockey, so I decided on H. Some letter he knows words for. Like C is for Costco and car. But just doesn't know the name of the letter. Or like P and F he can draw them and knows words, just not the name. Sometimes we do letter of the week, (or it ends up on the fridge for the month!). But I've learned that as long as he's exposed to lots of words and letters, he seems to be learning them whether or not we update "letter of the week". Even though things aren't highly structured, they still learn.

Think about it: Kids learn to speak from their families and the world around them. No lesson plan necessary. Wired to learn in the early years.
