February 22-26

 


Sound of the Week

In Nursery 2 the direct purpose of the sandpaper letters is to teach the child the sounds of the alphabet by means of muscular , visual, and auditory  memory. The child is encouraged to trace the symbol over and over again, while saying the sound  until the shape of the letter becomes a part of the child's  memory.  Not all children will get the sounds right away.  This is the  first stage in building sound memory.  It will become more concrete throughout their time in Early Childhood.
