We have been going through my preschool curriculum with my 4-year-old this year. Last week I shared our N is for Nest printable packet and I was happy to see that so many of you downloaded it!

Letter W & Alphabet Matching Game

I had him take out each item and tell me what they were. We listened for the /w/ sounds in each object. We also made our … [Read more...]
