Arranging letters of name in order Pencils and paper Magnetic letters or letter shapes. | Help the child copy round the letters of their name. Play a game matching the letter shapes to the drawn letter shapes of the child's name. Reward and praise all attempts. Can the child arrange the letters of their name without copying a written template? Set out most of the letters of the child's name so that to start with they have only to complete the last 2 letters - then the last 3 letters etc. | Make these activities as snappy and rewarding as possible by using lots of praise and maybe giving a small reward e.g. sticker for good attempts. |
