ACTIVITY 3 - ALPHABET ORDER

This activity strengthens alphabetical order skills. Your child will recognize that

the letters of the alphabet are arranged in a certain order. He or she will have

opportunities to tell which letter comes before or after certain letters. Your child will

be asked specific questions such as, “What letter comes before the letter B?” He or

she will then have the opportunity to look at the letter buttons and find that letter.
