Tips for Teaching Letter O Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Tactile Learning<\/strong><\/strong>

    Engage your child\u2019s senses while learning any new letter, as it can help them better connect with what they\u2019re learning. Invite your child to form letters with clay or by tracing letters in the sand or dirt. As they make the shape of the new letter, help them practice saying its sound at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Letter Sound of the Week<\/strong><\/strong>

      Add some fun to learning new letter sounds by picking a new letter sound for each week. Spend the week identifying things that start with the letter sound, making foods that use the designated letter sound, and hunting for the letter sound in books.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Incorporate Technology<\/strong><\/strong>
