Found another way to practice letters that makes Lily smile instead of groan. Q-Tip painting! She loves it. I tape some butcher paper to the table, trace some letters and let her go over the traced letters using a Q-Tip and some paint. The Q-Tips are wonderful - I can throw them away and don't have to clean anything AND they encourage appropriate gripping of a writing instrument.
We've been doing ABC's of this for about a week. Yesterday, Lily said 'I'm tired of ABC's, let's write something important.' I asked her what she thought was more important and she said, 'I LOVE YOU! That's the most important!'
I couldn't agree more.
(The 'Lily' is free-hand.)
