My 3 year old has really got into letters. She knows the alphabet song and has an alphabet jigsaw puzzle which she loves.
Yesterday she wanted to write the letter W (as it is in wonderpets).
I want to help her but dont want to make the alphabet boring and i dont want to undermine anything she'll do at school in 18 months.
So. How do i say the letter? Do say the letter in capitals and say it sounds like phonics? Or do i refer to them all in phonics?
And is writing the letter in dots so she can trace it a good way to go? That is what i just started doing.
sorry if this has been done before. I want to encourage her but dont want her to be bored of everything or to explain things the wrong way.
Thanks
