I decided to make an alphabet for Derin and I bought a set of lowercase letters and painted the letters using an acrylic deco pen. I have put them in two storage boxes that I already had at home.
At the first introduction, I gave Derin the opportunity to explore the letters and the box. I sounded out a couple of letters and invited him to find that particular letter.
On another day, we started building words. I provided Derin with a couple of three letter word objects.
I sound out the word and ask Derin "What sound can you hear when I say hat?" He will say "h", then I ask him to find the letter "h" and to put it on the mat or table.
The moveable alphabet is a great tool that allows the child to start writing without actually writing. The little objects are also very pretty and children love them. If you have time and can easily find or make them, great. If like me, you are not inclined to do so, you can find them readily available. I bought mine from here.
