letter names and sounds

English Language Arts

• The child has learned to recognize and identify letter names.
• The child has learned to associate letter names with their corresponding sounds.
• The child has practiced saying the names and sounds of various letters.
• The child has learned to recognize and distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.

To continue developing letter names and sounds skills, you can incorporate more interactive activities. For example, you can create a letter scavenger hunt where the child has to find objects around the house that start with different letters. You can also play letter sound games where you say a word and the child has to identify the beginning sound. Additionally, you can create a letter sound chart where the child can practice tracing and writing the letters while saying their corresponding sounds.
