We’ve been working a bit with Br( 3 3/4) on letter sounds on a very casual level, but I decided we needed to get a little more serious. In wondering the blogosphere I’ve found some awesome suggestions by fellow mommy-bloggers HERE and HERE and HERE, for example, to make it a whole letter smorgasbord! One of the general ideas I found most appealing was creating a “memorable event” related to the letter.
The process has been more sporadic, and not as organized or as thorough as I hoped. Br mostly associates our “letter of the day” with getting to watch YouTube videos, which I can’t say was my hope. 
I let Br choose our “letter of the day”. We’ve started with finding the respective letter card in 2 different sets of phonics cards we got at the dollar store or garage sale (with a picture of the letter & various pictures of things that start with that letter) and putting them up on our easel. Then Br suckered me into asked to watch some videos- “Letter” songs, machines (though I require he come up with a machine that starts with the letter of the day for this to happen- that’s motivation for ya!)
It took us a couple days before we managed to do our “activity”. I’d seen this idea for a Fabric Mâché bowl over at Red Ted Art. Ours didn’t come out quite as cute as Red Ted’s, but it was still a memorable hands-on activity for the Letter M! Continue reading “M is for “Mache””
