• Letter & Number Ideas:
Weeks 5-9 focus on "angled-line letters".
Start by creating the letters with short and long popsicle stickers or legos and writing on yellow lines with green and red dots.
Use the Angled Line Characters #1 worksheet to show the progression of the letters and numbers
• Make a point to focus on right and left as you drive, put on socks, put on a coat
• Color By Number Worksheet - color and cut out the ball when finished. As you read the directions, point to the words. Allow the child to read the numbers and figure out what color they are to color by the first letter. (ie. What is the first letter of this word - y - "y" says? - /y/ - What color begins with the /y/ sound?)
• Place magnetic refrigerator numbers 1, 4 and letters
• Watch 
• Fine Motor Skill:
Paint using cotton swabs (Q-tips)

Using a large ball such as a beach ball, sit on the floor and roll or throw the ball back and forth - Use this time to talk to your child about their likes/dislikes, fears, wishes, etc. or review memory verses.
