Learning Letters

I have been home with Jake since June when school got out and he has learned so much "this summer". (I will go back to work as soon as I find a job.) The main thing that he conquered was knowing his letters before he was 2 1/2! I was so proud of him! (And then he knew all the letter sounds shortly after that!) Here are the things that helped the most...

Leap Frog Fridge Letters
He seriously played with them all of the time. He's only recently stopped playing with them as much.

He carried them around and lined them up all over everywhere.

This was a common sight this summer.

Also, bathtub letters.

Fun times learning letters in the tub.

I also found some alphabet "animal" crackers at Kroger.
He had to tell me the letter before he could eat it.

This is what they look like, in case you care.
They're Kroger brand.

The main thing that helped with letter sounds was probably the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD. We watched it a few times a week and he was in a trance. He seems to learn and remember things very easily.

Super Why helped a little bit with
reinforcement of what he'd learned.
I'm so proud of him!
