Send your child on a hunt for different letter styles

Young writers can be confused by the different ways letters appear when printed. Is "a" the same as "A"? Look through old catalogs and newspapers with your child and cut out uppercase and lowercase letters in as many fonts and sizes as you can find. Help your child sort the letters and paste all the examples of each letter onto a separate index card. Your child will learn a variety of ways each letter can look.
