BOOKS TO READ

 To save money , local library is a good option. You can also use whatever books you may have in your home library to supplement with the lesson. 

From the library...

Uu - Letter Recognition


For tactile activity , we used sandpaper letters.  This is a very good activity to practice letter awareness.

You can purchase this but you can make one very cheap. See here : DIY Inexpensive Montessori Sandpaper Letters


We also used the sandpaper letter as a guide to practice tracing it using a salt tray.



We did a Letter U collage activity.
