Parent's Guide: Learning Letters, Numbers, and More!

How to use this worksheet

Start with the letter identification activity, showing your child a capital letter and asking them to find or name its matching lowercase partner. Move on to the counting activity, laying out a small group of blocks and asking your child to count them aloud one at a time. Finish with the open and close game, using your hands or a real object like a box to demonstrate and then ask your child to show you 'open' and 'close.' Work through the three activities in one sitting or spread across a few short sessions, whichever keeps your child engaged.
