We finished the letter Dd last week and have moved on to E. This turned out to be her favorite letter so far. For each letter, she learns how to write it and how it sounds.

I’m not extra strict about her handwriting yet – she’s only four. She does have to be able to recognize them so we review the letters with flashcards. I started using booklets from DLTK and we’re making some of their paper crafts too. It saves me a lot of time so that I don’t have to think up a new activity.

She especially loves the donkey. He’s detachable and his head, legs and head move.

You can find the Ugly Duckling booklet here.
