· Use the library's books on tapes or CD
· Draw letters in mashed potatoes, applesauce, pudding, etc.
· Make letters out of green beans, rice, corn, play dough, etc.
· Have your child say the name of the letter while tracing it.
· Write the letter down and have the child say the letter. Then have him write a line of the letter saying the letter every time. Helps handwriting skills also!
· Read alphabet books. Point to letters in simple words.
· Make or buy a large letter rug or bedspread for your child's bedroom.
· Use sports jerseys to practice reading numbers as you watch & play games together.
· Have place name cards at the table with everyone's name. Change places often.
· Play flash card games. Start with the letters your child already knows then add new ones one at a time. Use the letters in child's name as a basis to build on.
 Match upper and lower case letters on 3x5 cards.
. Use cards with corresponding pictures that identify with each letter in the alphabet.   

READING is the fundamental key to success in ANY grade.  Encourage your child to read a variety of materials.  Some examples include: travel brochures, pamphlets, magazines, poems, store advertisments, newspaper articles, instruction manuals, cookbooks, recipes, movie summaries, and of course oodles of books.
