Let’s get started
Your name is an important word, and its letters have an order.
Learn together
- Ask a grown-up to write your name large; look at the first letter.
- Say the names of the letters in your name, from left to right.
- Mix up matching letter cards and put them in the right order.
Example to explore
A name might look like: A - N - A (the letters depend on YOUR name).
Try it yourself
- Which letter usually begins a written first name?
- In what direction do we read English letters?
- Type your first name or copy it onto paper, then tell someone its first letter.
Hands-on project
Create a name mosaic by arranging your name letters from paper scraps. Explain which letter comes first.
Reflect and grow
Which letter of your name can you recognize elsewhere?
