Why hasn’t my child learned to write or recognize the alphabet? Why doesn’t A Place to Grow offer activities like “letter of the week”?
Most children do not have the fine motor skills to write letters correctly. When forced to try too early, the result is frustration and a dislike for academic activities. Your child is learning songs and finger plays about the sound of letters. The ability to hear these sounds is much more closely related to beginning reading and conversation than writing the alphabet. We offer children a “whole language” approach which emphasizes using words and letters in meaningful and personal activities.
