Letters Letters Letters

Luka starting learning his letters when he was a little bit older than one year. We took baby French class and his teacher started going over them. I thought she was nuts, he was so little. But, he was really interested in them and knew his French ones first, but thanks to day care/school now knows them well in English too. Want the alphabet song? Which language? Take your pick! He first knew the upper case letters but in the last few months, we taught him the lower case ones and he picked up on them really fast.

Now, we are starting to show him how words fit together. I bought a set of good magnetic letters for the fridge, with lots of repeats so you can actually spell words. At this point, he tells us words he wants to spell and we tell him what letters to search for. He puts them in order as we say what they are and he locates them on the fridge. Here is a picture of some of our recent masterpieces: EVE ~ CHAT ~ CHIEN ~ LUKA ~ REYNALD ~ AXEL
