Outcomes:
-recognizes capital and lower case letters.
-capitalizes first letter of own name
Directions:
Follow the direction of which way to form letters given in the example sheet. Have your child write their name beginning with a capital letter and then followed by lower case. They may resist if they have been starting at the bottom of their letters but just tell them that this came straight from Mme Jane! :) You can then have them practice a letter a day. I'd love photos if possible!
