Letter Pages

Each week that Caleb and I have done alphabet activities, we create a letter page early in the week.  I mostly use it as a brainstorming tool.  At first I did most of the brainstorming, but now Caleb is coming up with words to add.  I write the words we come up with and then draw a simple picture (I’m no artist.) so that Caleb can “read” the words himself.  Depending on the week and on his interest level, we may have a lot of words or just a few.  The pages usually end up with scribbles, and I remind the teacher in me that the scribbling is a mark of interest and attention more than destruction.
