lower case letters - 09:20 PM
(filed under 'smiley')
the letters of the alphabet that smiley has been seeing since he's been interested in them have mostly been capital letters, so until recently, he'd not recognised lowercase letters.
i started concentrating on them with him last week since knowing upper case & lowercase letters is one of steps along the path of learning to read.
he's picked them up really quickly & today read all the letters to me on a sign we went past. i'm so impressed with his ability with numbers & letters.
we've also been working on the sounds that letters make. he's not picking them up quite as quickly, but then again, they really don't make a lot of sense since some letters don't sound at all like the name of them (like the hard 'kuh' sound for the letter 'c', for instance) & they change with almost every word that you use them in, also depending on where the letter is within that word.
welcome to all the 'rules' of english that are constantly broken. lol!
