Let’s get started
Today we will explore find letters in my name through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.
Learn together
- Watch together: Find the first letter of your name on a name card.
- Try it as a team: Retell or predict in your own words. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
- Try once more in a new way: Look at the pictures as your grown-up reads. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
Watch and try an example

Show what you noticed
- Show or tell a grown-up what you noticed while we explored find letters in my name. An adult may enter the child's words.
- Try it again: Find the first letter of your name on a name card. Tell your grown-up which part was fun or surprising.
- Draw, point, move, or talk to show what you learned about find letters in my name. Adults can record an observation instead of requiring writing.
