Letter H Activities: Day 1

• Sing the alphabet song with your child.
• Learn about the letter H on Starfall. On each screen of this interactive activity, your child will need to click the letter H, wait for the animation to play, or complete the activity to get the green arrow to appear. Then, he/she will click the green arrow to go to the next screen.
• Show your child how to write an upper and lowercase H, and have him complete the worksheet on page 46 of the workbook.
• Watch One Potato, Two Potatoes. Encourage your child to sing along for practice counting to seven.
• Optional: Choose an activity, a recipe to prepare together, or a snack from the list of additional activities near the end of this page.

Letter H Activities: Day 2

• Watch One Potato, Two Potatoes and sing along.
• Show your child how to write the number 7 and help him/her complete page 47 of the workbook.

Letter G Review

If your child has completed all the Week 10 activities, and time allows, you may want to spend some time reviewing Week 9, which covered the letter G. However, if you do not get a chance to review Week 9, it is okay. Week 13 of the Letter of the Week preschool curriculum will review weeks 8 through 12.
