Try this together

Choose the words your child already says or points to and leave the rest for another day. Read the word, point to the picture, then trace it together.

How to use it

  1. Say the letter or number out loud as you start.
  2. Trace together from the black dot, slowly.
  3. Say the word once more and point to the picture.
