Literacy
- The student demonstrated an understanding of letter-sound correspondence as they wrote each letter of their name.
- Through the activity, the student practiced fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and grip strength, which are essential for handwriting and letter formation.
- The activity allowed the student to begin recognizing and differentiating between letters, laying the foundation for future reading and writing skills.
For continued development, encourage the student to practice writing their name using various materials, such as chalk on a sidewalk, finger painting, or using sensory trays with sand or rice. Introducing alphabet books and playing letter recognition games can further reinforce their understanding of letters and sounds.
