Stacking Letters

Pick something to write on. You can grab small pieces of paper or notecards. To make things more fun you can grab something out of the ordinary like dry beans or toy building blocks to write on. Be sure to grab a lot (at least two dozen or so should work great) of the items to write on, because you’ll have to write one letter on each item. Pick a few letters of the alphabet. Try to include some letters that your little one has both the uppercase and lowercase versions down pat for (these will be the ones they will match easily) and some letters they aren’t familiar with. This will give them some opportunities to learn and challenge themselves while also feeling rewarded because of the matches they will likely get correct. Write the uppercase form of each letter on seperate items as well as the lowercase form of each letter on seperate items. Make sure that each item has it’s own letter (either uppercase or lowercase). Just one letter per item! Scatter the lettered items across a surface and ask your child to make matches between the uppercase and lowercase versions of each letter. If they get stuck at any point, use those moments to teach them what the uppercase or lowercase version of a particular letter looks like.
