Now that you’re done with the letter P, we’ll be tackling the letter Q. There are so many fun things to do with this letter. First and foremost, make sure you put up the letter Q in your child’s learning space. The more they see it, the more familiar it gets. Another tip is to make sure you talk about the letter with your child, describe it, its shape, its sound, in what words you see it. This will help them discover its key features in a constructive way. You can then confirm their speculations through watching this Kids Academy Letter Q Video together. Last but not least, it is very helpful to incorporate some fun to the learning process. In this article, we’ll recommend 5 activities you can provide your child with to help them learn the letter Q.
