Book work begins. The directions and activities are pretty self-explanatory in the IG. Firstly, be sure to go in the order the book is written. (There will be warm-up lessons before letters. Don't skip them!) Secondly, continue to use the manipulatives.

For each letter in the book we'd... Day 1) Build the letter with wood pieces on the letter cards. Then we'd do 'Wet,Dry,Try' on the slate. (If they need additional help, we'd do the roll-a-dough or the SSS.) Day 2) Workbook page

Extra: In conjunction with the PreK HWT workbook, we made an ABC scrapbook. One page of pictures, diecuts, and words that begin with each letter.
