Skillz 2 Grow (ABC Babys)

Those baby letters are just as important as the capitals!


A growing trend, according to many Kindergarten teachers and trickled down to us in the child care profession, is that many children are great at their ABC's but they do not know what those little ones are supposed to be.

So, we have been informally asked to make sure that we include those baby letters in our learning activities. Parents who are their childs primary teacher should also keep this in mind.

The following worksheet looks better and is available as a PDF file and a DOCX file if you are interested in printing it!
