- Engaged in active listening and following instructions as they searched for specific letters.
- Expanded vocabulary by discussing the locations where letters were hidden (e.g., behind the couch, under the table).
Continued development can be fostered by introducing more challenging letter recognition games such as using flashcards or creating a letter scavenger hunt around the house. Encourage the child to use the letters they find to form simple words or match them with corresponding objects.
