We continue to work hard, learning and enjoying the uppercase letters! Playing with letters is very important and very hard work for little minds. I would encourage letter play for all Kindergarten students. This is doubly important for those who struggle recognizing uppercase letters quickly. If your child hesitates longer then three seconds when trying to recall the name of an uppercase letter then they need to continue playing games and working hard.
I know when we think about learning letters and sounds we automatically think we should be practicing with worksheets. While this is not totally out of the question, it's becoming more and more widely known that the more play like we can make our 5-6 year old's learning the more likely they are to retain the information.
Some fun activities to try include:

We've also started rhyming. This is a very important skill to have to help understand word spelling and hearing chunks in words.
