Outstanding Letter O Crafts For Toddlers And Preschoolers
The three Rs — reading, writing, and (a)rithmetic — are some of the most important academic skills our kids will learn. These skills are the building blocks by which we learn everything else. We begin by teaching our kids to count and sing their ABCs. Eventually, they realize the alphabet song is more than just a catchy tune. They start to understand that letters are symbols, each with a unique sound, and those symbols make up the words that we speak and write. If your little one is starting to recognize their letters and you want ideas for hands-on activities and games to encourage their learning process, we’ve got some letter O crafts to help you out. When you finish these, be sure to check out our letter A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, L, M, and N craft pages too.
Learning to read isn’t always easy, but with the help and attention of caregivers both at home and at school, your kid will be a pro in no time. Creating a literacy-rich home is important when fostering this necessary skill. You can do this by reading to your kids every day, conversing with them early and often (even when they can’t talk back!), and pointing out letters in everyday life. The more words kids are exposed to before the age of five, the bigger their vocabulary will be…and the easier it will be for them to learn to read.
