Even if your child has just learned to walk you can label objects in his/her room. This is a great way to tie spoken language to the written word. Children love to ‘stick’ the labels on and you will be surprised with how much they remember. Remember to use basic rules of good english and printing. Write all letters in lower case (unless it is a proper noun like ‘Justin’ or ‘Wyoming’.) Use blue painters tape or masking tape for easy removal later. Have fun!
