More Super Sounds
It's been a while since I last posted, but I wasn't sure just how much everyone wanted to know about each and every letter we cover in our new quest to learn the alphabet. I can tell you it has been an incredibly long three weeks since we started.
Review, review, review!! And I say it again...review! We spend about as much time reviewing the last few letters we learned as we do learning a new one each week because Jeremiah has such a hard time retaining information. He is getting it. It's just slow going.
Two weeks ago was M (capital letters only at this point, of course). We made Model Magic M's and toothpick and "m"arshmallow creations. I try to have him play in a different medium each week too and practice writing the letters in it so that he can feel their shape for better recognition. So far, we have played in shaving cream and "goop", a combination of water and cornstarch until it is the consistency of toothpaste.
This past week was R and Jerry practiced writing them in "r"ed fingerpaint. He also lined "r"ocks up on a masking tape R on the living room floor.
Whew! Only 23 letters to go!! Keep praying!
