My little girl is 2, not quite 2 1/2. She's very smart. She's known the alphabet song since she was 20 months old. Language is definitely her forte. Although I believe she is still too young to be expected to learn all the letters and their sounds, I really believe that she still needed exposure to more than just the ABC's song. This is why I decided to start doing "Letter of the Week."
"A" Week:
Last week was "A" week. I put a picture of "Aa" on our fridge so she could see it through the week and I showed her how to sign an "A" in ASL. Since last Monday was Labor Day, Daddy and I were planning on taking the little miss to the "A"quarium. She threw a fit and wouldn't calm down so we missed our opportunity, but we can use that idea for another week: "F" week for the fish.
We also went to visit her "A"unt. I believe this might be her new favorite aunt because they played on the slide for longer than any adult would choose for themselves.
I also made sure I pointed out things we saw that started with the letter "A." "A"pples, her "A"rms, "A"nts, etc.
"B" Week
This week we are talking about the letter "B."
