Have children scribble and draw; it is the first step towards writing.

Explore letters in new ways by molding them out of play-dough or cutting them out with cookie cutters.

Create letters out of sandpaper, cotton balls or something textural that children can touch and trace with their fingers.

Instead of memorizing the whole alphabet in a day, find the first letter of your children’s names in a variety of alphabet books.

Create a letter collage.  It will help children to identify their letters out of order.  

Place letters all around your classroom.  Point to one or two letters when they relate to what you are discussing.  Going through all 26 letters can be overwhelming to children and adults.  Point to a few throughout the day and your children will start to recognize them, even the two year olds.
