Help your beginning reader have fun with letters

Hands-on activities let children use more than one sense to learn. To help your early reader learn letters, get out some pipe cleaners and bend them into letter shapes together. You can also make letter puzzles out of index cards. Write the capital and lowercase versions of a letter on a card. Repeat for several letters. Cut the cards in half in a curvy pattern, mix them up, and let your child match each capital letter with its lowercase mate.
