Uppercase letters and tapping out sounds

For the next three weeks, we will be learning to write the uppercase letters. We are learning approximately 2 new letters each day. Since the children are comfortable with letter identification and letter sounds, we are reviewing daily but focusing more on uppercase letter formation.

We have also been learning how to tap out sounds for three letter words. We use our non-dominant hand to tap out sounds to read new words. We try not to use our writing hand so that we can still tap out sounds when we are writing.

Try asking your child to tap out the sounds of these simple three letter words: cat, hat, mat, mug, mud, fan, cup, sit, sip, etc.
