We have finished studying all the letters (and theirs sounds) of the alphabet! We will use the next to weeks to review. At this point your child should be able to identify ALL lower and upper case letters as well as their corresponding sounds. Our letter/sound knowledge will help us independently blend sounds into words. READ! READ! READ!
