Learning Letters

Start with your name

Around age 2, your child will begin to recognize the letters that make up her name, so be sure to display it throughout your home: on her bedroom door, a bathroom step stool, and the fridge. Point to the letters, saying each one out loud, suggests Dr. Seaton. Talk about other words that begin with the same letter as her name does (“C is for Caitlin, but it’s also for cat and cup”).
