Letter Recognition
By Evelyn S. Lansche

A rhyme to teach the difference between i and l:
i has a dot,
l does not.

In order to know what a V and W are, the following works:

I teach V by holding up 2 fingers for a V,
and say,
"V for Victory!"

In the rhyme for W, I hold up a V on each
hand, and say as I join my 2 "pointer"
fingers,

"It takes just 2,
for W."
Since I am not sure how simple you want to get, I thought you might be interested in these ideas. The objects are available to

make the lessons more concrete.
A for acorn (ape, etc.)
B for bumble"bee"
C-a-p spells Cap.
D for deodorant (I demonstrate by rubbing an
empty deodorant container under their arm.)
E for eraser
F for eFFort, in a sport.
G-O spells go!
H-O, ho, ho, ho!
I for ice
J for Jacob (or Jane)
K for K-Mart (or cage)
L for eLephant
M for m & m
N-O spells no.
P for Pizza Hut
Q for Q-tip
aRt has an R in the middle.
S-s-s-s for snake
T for teeth
U for unicorn
V for victory!
It takes just 2 (Vs) for W.
X for x-ray
Y-o-u spells you!
Z for zebra
