Activity: "Copying Alphabet"

- The child has learned letter recognition and identification through copying the alphabet.
- The child has practiced fine motor skills by writing each letter.
- The child has improved their handwriting and letter formation by copying the alphabet.
- The child has developed letter-sound associations as they say the names of the letters while copying.
Encourage continued development by incorporating fun and creative methods for practicing the alphabet. For example, you can create alphabet scavenger hunts where the child has to find objects that start with each letter or you can play alphabet charades where they act out an action or word that starts with a specific letter.
