****Guess what?! Letter of the Week lesson plans are getting an overhaul! I’m going through and updating all plans, adding new free worksheets and making sure all links are up to date! I’ve created a bunch of templates too for some of the crafts that’ll make your life a lot easier! Hang tight! It may take some time to get through all the letters, but it’s coming soon!! If you’re seeing this message, this post has already been updated!*** 6/11/23
Y’all….!!!
We have finally made it to the letter y! I hope you’re still plugging along and seeing incredible progress with your babies! Even though we haven’t focused much at all on writing the letters, your child is likely picking them up anyways. You are probably seeing your child experiment with writing. One of my daughters favourite things to do is practice writing on her easel. Of course without help, she writes just random letters, but with my help she is already sounding out and spelling words!
Watching your child learn and independently use the skills they have been taught is a pretty awesome thing, right?
And just think, in a short time, your child could be reading! Yep Mama, it’s ok if a prideful tear escapes right now! You’ve earned it!
But lets finish this series first…and start with this weeks letter y lesson plan!
